NHER 12266 (Building record) - 30 Cromer Road

3 March 1977. Visit.
Cottage-Ornee in Gothick style. Brick, coated in cement, now falling off. North and south gable walls have large pointed windows with glazing bars imitating intersected tracery. Windows on the east façade are also pointed, glazed with diamond-shaped leaded lights. Porch has a pointed arch with doors left and right. Large central rectangular chimney divided into four sections. Pantile roof. Dentilled cornice. Two rear extensions - one contemporary, one modern. Presumably a Stratton Strawless estate cottage and therefore dating to around 1800. Very poor condition.
