Building record 374/4/2 - The Cottage, Hellidon Grange

{1} Building with slightly eccentric angle of west gable to the other walls. A plain red brick aspect in Flemish Garden Wall Bond/Sussex Bond, with simple modern timber casement windows at ground and first floor levels beneath concrete lintels. Courtyard garden entered through a wooden gate in brick perimeter wall with Staffordshire blue engineering brick capping. In 1972 the building was converted into a house form its former use as a stable. Adjacent brick-built lean-to sheds, also formerly stables.
The Cottage comprises a brick shell of just before c.1853, originally one of a number of stables serving the adjacent grange. There is nothing left to suggest its functional origins.
