25 and 26 Dumbleton Village

Nos 25 and 26 Dumbleton Village are a pair of mirror image estate cottages built in the mid 19th century by Hunt of Evesham for Edward Holland, M.P., following a design by Richardson and Ross of Darlington. Constructed from brick sourced from the estate's brickworks, they feature limestone dressings and a red tile roof with brick stacks. The overall plan is 'T'-shaped.

The cottages have twin gables on the roadside front, each with a three-light wooden casement window set within a flat-chamfered surround on the ground floor and a similar two-light casement window above. Each side wing has a 19th-century plank door located within a rustic timber porch, with a single-light casement window above. There is also a two-light casement window on the ground floor of the gable ends. A stack rises from the valley between the two cottages.

This pair is noted for being the most unaltered example of a cottage type common on the Dumbleton estate. The design won a prize in the 1861 competition of the Yorkshire Agricultural Society, and plans and elevations of these cottages are illustrated in Bailey Denton's "The Farm Homesteads of England," published in 1863.
