Range of Cottages to South West of Hardwick Hall

This range of cottages, located to the southwest of Hardwick Hall, dates from the 17th, 18th, and 19th centuries. They are constructed from coursed squared sandstone with sandstone dressings and feature a stone slate roof with coped gables. The building has three ridge stacks, three lateral stacks, and gable stacks, and it rises to two and three storeys.

The east elevation consists of seventeen irregular bays. At the south end, the first ten bays include, from left to right, a doorway with a plain stone surround, a stone cross window, another doorway, a 3-light mullioned and transomed window, a cross window, a 4-light mullioned and transomed window, another doorway, a 3-light mullioned and transomed window, a doorway, a cross window, and a final doorway. The first floor features ten cross windows, one of which is set at an intermediate height. The next four bays are recessed and contain three doorways, a 3-light mullioned window, and two small 20th-century windows on the ground floor, with one cross window and three additional 20th-century windows above. There are four more cross windows above these.

To the right, three additional bays on the ground floor have a 2-light mullioned window flanked by similar 3-light windows. The first floor features a single light window flanked by 2-light windows, while the second floor has three similar 2-light windows. Most of the windows are fitted with diamond leaded lights.
