Elizabeth Cottages
Description
Elizabeth Cottages is a single-sided cul-de-sac of two-storey terraced cottages in the Kew Gardens conservation area of Richmond-upon-Thames, leading off Sandycombe Road by the Kew Gardens Hotel. Believed to have been built in around 1880, these relatively unaltered artisans' cottages comprising three blocks of five cottages, each central one standing slightly forward with a transverse ridge and gable, are listed locally as Buildings of Townscape Merit. A detached cottage of similar design at Number 16 was added around twenty years later. This view, looking towards the Hotel and Sandycombe Road, shows numbers 1-10, and serves to illustrate the uniformity and symmetry across two of the blocks. The block at 1-5 was extended in the 1980s by an additional cottage, upsetting the overall symmetry, although it is of consistent style and construction. The concrete lamp post shown has since been replaced by heritage-style lantern. The rear of the Kew Gardens Hotel is visible beyond the cottages. Thought to be of similar age, it is also listed locally and still runs as the Kew Gardens Hotel today.
