Description
Dukes Cottages is one of a pair of cottages located on a corner site to the northeast of the churchyard in Milton Abbot. It was built around the early 19th century for the Duke of Bedford. The cottage is constructed of stone rubble, with the front colourwashed and plastered, and features a slate roof that is gabled at the right end and coped at the left where it meets the adjoining cottage. There is a large projecting stack with set-offs at the right gable end. The cottage is one room wide and has an integral outshut, standing two storeys tall.
The front has an asymmetrical two-window arrangement, likely half of what was originally a symmetrical elevation with the adjoining cottage, which has since been altered. There is a porch on the front at the left, covered by a catslide roof, with an entrance at right angles to the main block through a Caernarvon arched doorway. The porch has a one-light casement window, while the ground floor to the right features a two-light casement window with diamond leaded panes. The first-floor window to the right is a full gable dormer with a two-light casement window, also with diamond leaded panes. The interior has not been inspected.
