Primrose Gardens, bordering a small green at the entrance to Carrington Village, is a well designed group of remarkably complete local authority houses, probably by Thomas Bertram. Bertram was assistant to William Scott, the county architect, until the 14th of June 1938 when he himself took over as county architect on Scott's retirement. The cottages are situated on the site of the former Carrington Manse.
