Description
Barbrook Cottage is a house built around 1830-1840, likely designed by Paxton and Robertson. It was enlarged in 1966 using materials from Paxton's own residence, Barbrook House. The structure is made of coursed squared sandstone with ashlar dressings and features a stone slate roof with overhanging gables, decorative bargeboards, and gableted timber finials. There is an ashlar ridge stack with angled projections and an ashlar stack at the rear. The building has two storeys.
The east elevation consists of two plus one bays. The symmetrical two-bay section has a central doorway with a plain ashlar surround and a bracketed stone hood featuring decorative scrollwork and two carved heads, likely contemporary portraits. The door is panelled and is flanked by two-light casement windows that have projecting bracketed sills and returned hoodmoulds. Above these, there are two smaller casements with similar features, and between them is a sunken panel displaying a shield in relief. The lower bay to the right contains a three-light casement on each floor, with the lower one featuring pointed arched lights and a projecting sill with a returned hoodmould. The gable end to the north has a pointed arched doorway with a panelled door.
Barbrook Cottage was built as part of the picturesque model village created by Paxton for the Sixth Duke of Devonshire.
