Danby Cottage Hawthorn Cottage

Danby Cottage and Hawthorn Cottage are two houses located on The Green in Hurworth. Hawthorn Cottage, on the left, dates from the early 18th century, while Danby Cottage, on the right, was built in the late 18th to early 19th century. Both houses were refronted in the mid-19th century. They are constructed of rendered brick and rubble, with pantiled roofs, which have been renewed on Danby Cottage, and feature brick chimney stacks.

The cottages are designed in a Tudor style and are two storeys high. Hawthorn Cottage has three bays, while Danby Cottage has four bays, with a slightly irregular layout. Hawthorn Cottage occupies part of the left bay of Danby Cottage and has its entrance through a doorway at that point. There are two Tudor-arched doorways with added gabled hoods, and a small two-light window is situated between them. Danby Cottage features a coach arch in its right bay, which has chamfered reveals and a Tudor-arched head.

The windows are mainly two- and three-light, double-chamfered, stone-mullioned with side-hung eight-pane casements, set in raised surrounds under hoodmoulds, except for two twelve-pane sash windows located to the right of Hawthorn Cottage. Hawthorn Cottage has dentilled eaves and a steeply-pitched roof with swept eaves, a raised right verge, and end stacks. Danby Cottage also has a steeply-pitched roof but with a slightly lower ridge and a central stack. At the left rear of Hawthorn Cottage, there is a two-storey gabled wing, and Danby Cottage has a two-storey addition at the rear with scattered sash windows.
