Description
This is a group of three dwellings—a farmhouse (Middle Cottage), a cottage (Tickhill Cottage), and a farmhouse extension (Tickhill Farm House)—dating to around 1720, with later 18th-century additions and early to mid-19th-century extensions. Originally a single farmhouse, it has been divided into three separate properties. A late 20th-century porch has been added to Middle Cottage. The rear garden features mid-19th century outbuildings and garden walls.
The buildings are constructed of dressed sandstone, with clay pantile roofs (renewed on Tickhill Cottage) and Lakeland slate on Tickhill Farm House. Stone ridge and gable copings and kneelers are present, along with brick rebuilt stacks on Tickhill Farm House and Tickhill Cottage. The garden wall has dressed upper courses and a brick screen wall on the south side.
Middle Cottage is two windows wide, with a gabled porch replacing a former window on the left. It has renewed sixteen-pane sashes with painted sills. Tickhill Cottage is one window wide and features a four-panel door with overlight and renewed sixteen-pane sashes; a plain band runs along the eaves. Tickhill Farm House also has a six-panel door with a geometric-bar overlight and sixteen-pane sashes with painted sills. A single-storey extension to the left features a similar window. Circular stone end stacks, one with a saucer-domed cap, are present. A curved screen wall, likely once part of an outbuilding range, connects to the left end of Tickhill Farm House and includes a ramped section leading to gatepiers.
The rear of Middle Cottage has a gabled single-storey former dairy and a fixed-light staircase window with Gothick glazing bars. Tickhill Cottage’s rear has renewed horizontal sash windows on the first floor. Tickhill Farm House’s rear includes an external stone staircase leading to a former apple store in the roof space; a dog kennel is situated beneath the stair. A rear garden wall with rounded copings and two round-headed doorways (one blocked) runs east from the dairy. There are also two small gabled single-storey outhouses and a lean-to shed against the north face of the wall, with one now converted into a garage.
The interior of Middle Cottage contains an early 19th-century dogleg staircase with stick balusters, fluted newels, and a ramped handrail at the ends. A similar staircase is found in Tickhill Cottage. Both Middle Cottage and Tickhill Farm House feature panelled shutters and panelled window reveals. A single-storey rear extension of Tickhill Cottage has been heavily altered.
