II
A pair of cottages, now a single property, dating from the early C19.
MATERIALS: The house is rendered and whitewashed with an asbestos-cement tile roof. Square brick stacks are located on both return gables.
PLAN: Each former cottage is of a single room plan with service rooms flanking the rear yard.
EXTERIOR: The building is of two storeys and four bays with recessed central doorways and adjacent timber casement windows. At first floor level are similar casement windows with a blind opening above the central doorway. The opening contains a date stone inscribed 1822 together with some illegible lettering. A mid-level plain string marks first floor level.
INTERIOR: NOT INSPECTED (Mar 09) but is described at the time of listing (1990) as retaining early-C19 plank doors, ceilings with plain joists set on edge and a quarter-turn staircase to the corner of each main room.
HISTORY: The property originated c.1822 as a pair of modest cottages, which remained largely unaltered during the later C19 and C20. They have now been converted to a single house.
REASONS FOR DESIGNATION:
Blossom Cottage, 38 Galpin Street, is designated at Grade II, for the following principal reasons:
* Despite its conversion to a single dwelling, this former pair of cottages remains legible as such.
* The building retains its historic character as a pair of 1822 cottages of vernacular interest.
