Description

Duncombe Mill Cottages is a pair of cottages with a south end outhouse, built in the later 18th century. They are constructed of rubble stone with ashlar dressings and feature stone tiled roofs. The main range is two storeys with an attic, while the south end is one and a half storeys. The main range has two hipped dormers, and the lower south end range has two hipped eaves dormers. At the ridge of the main range, there is a cluster of four octagonal stone stacks. The cottages have raised ashlar quoins and a first-floor dripcourse.

The main range includes four first-floor two-light flush cyma-moulded mullion windows and ground floor doors made of two planks, each with hoods supported by brackets, situated beside two two-light mullion windows and a single light window to the right. All windows are fitted with early 19th-century cast-iron lattice lights. There are dove openings in the end gable. The south end range features an interrupted dripcourse and a door with a chamfered surround to the left. The rear of the main range has two two-light ovolo-moulded mullion windows with hoodmoulds. These cottages may be part of the "six newly-built tenements" mentioned in records from the mill in 1778.
