ALDFORD C.P. CHESTER ROAD (west side) Brookview and Stocks View Former nurse's accommodation and dispensary

(Formerly listed as Brook View and Nurses' Cottage with former dispensary, CHESTER ROAD)

GV II Handed pair of cottages and attached dispensary, 1893, by Douglas and Fordham for First Duke of Westminster. Red brick with blue diapering to dormer gables and bases of end gables; white rendered heads to end gables; roof of small grey-green slates; central chimney to cottages with attached diagonal flues rising from the roof; tall plinthed chimney to dispensary with two attached diagonal flues. Two separated projecting dormer gables to front flanked by front doors, left and right. The cottages are of one and a half storeys and one window, with the single-storey two window dispensary, left. Iron casements (leaded glazing removed) to cottages in mullioned windows of moulded brick with three camber-arched lights. Doors have two square panels of leaded glazing above three tall wooden panels. The dispensary (with office) has two mullioned windows of timber; the arched top lights have small panes. The cottages form a terminal feature at the north end of the village; the nurse's accommodation reflects the part which the first Duke played in establishing the system of district nurses in Britain.
