Description

The Cottage and Hollybush Cottage, along with an attached garden wall, are a pair of cottages built around 1830-1840, likely designed by Paxton and Robertson. They are constructed from coursed squared sandstone with ashlar dressings and feature a plain tile roof with overhanging decorative gables. The gable stacks are made of ashlar and have twisted circular shafts, with one stack having a pair and the other a triplet.

The cottages are two storeys high, with a plain first floor band and a moulded eaves cornice. The north elevation consists of three broad bays, with the two on the right being double fronted. The central doorway has a triangular head, an ashlar surround, and a panelled door. This doorway is flanked by four-light chamfered mullion windows, also with triangular heads. Above the doorway is a single light window with a projecting plain ashlar surround, which has stepped corbelling below and a stepped parapet above. The outer bays feature three-light square section flush mullion windows.

To the left is a slightly lower recessed bay that has a two-light chamfered mullion window on the ground floor and a small canted oriel window above, supported by a moulded bracket and topped with a hipped lead roof with a finial. There is also a blind round arched window to the left with a raised head and bracketed sill. The gabled east elevation includes a lower projecting gabled bay with buttress walls and elaborate scrolled brackets above. It has a two-light chamfered mullion window, a smaller two-light window above it, and a small pointed window in the pedimented gable.

To the north, there is a stone garden wall topped with a decorative wooden fence. These cottages were built as part of the picturesque model village designed by Paxton for the Sixth Duke of Devonshire.
