domestic style. Group of 4 ranges of building of 2 storeys, joined at their
rear corners to form a quadrangle, with central courtyard approached by
arches through the north and south ranges, the 4 dwellings ingeniously
disposed with their front doors in the re-entrants. The windows (all
casements with leaded lights) are close to the ground on the ground floor
but hug the eaves of the first floor.

Originally conceived as parts of minor elements in a comprehensive scheme for
development of Rossall Beach Estate, sketched by Lutyens 1901-02. (R.I.B.A.
Lut. 28/13/10: plans, sections and elevations for group of 10 cottages

were executed, all in modified form by T.G. Lumb).
