Description

Hudson Fold Cottages and the attached barn are a cottage and barn used for agricultural purposes, dating from the mid-17th century with alterations from the early 19th century. The buildings are constructed from hammer-dressed stone and feature a stone slate roof. They are two storeys high and consist of two cells. The first cell, which is from the 19th century, has a three-light flat-faced mullioned window to the left of the doorway, with tie-stone jambs. The first floor has a five-light window, with a break in the stonework. The second cell features a three-light cavetto chamfered mullioned window, with a three-light flat-faced mullioned window above it on the first floor. Some quoins are still visible at the junction with the barn, which is taller and has a basket-arched cart entry with an expressed keystone and a simple Venetian window above. To the left of the junction with the cottage, there is a mistal doorway with a chamfered surround. The rear of the cottage has a single-storey gabled cellar that is partly sunk into the ground. There are two stacks at the ridge. Inside the earliest cell, there is a segmental arched fireplace on corbelled jambs with a chamfered surround.
