Dukes Hill Cottage

Dukes Hill Cottage is a house and barn dated 1765, built for Stephen Hudson. It features coursed squared gritstone and ashlar with a graduated stone slate roof. The building has a direct-entry plan and is two stories high with a two-bay main range that includes a rear outshut and an added bay to the right. The barn, located to the left, has four bays.

The main range has an ashlar plinth, sill bands, and rusticated quoins. The central entrance is a four-panel door set in an eared architrave, topped with a pulvinated frieze and a corniced pediment, which has an inscription on a plaque stating: 'Stephen Hudson / built / this house / 1765'. The windows are Venetian-style with keyed ashlar surrounds on both floors, and some original glazing bars remain. There are stone gutter brackets and corniced end stacks, with the left stack being external. The added bay features a board door on the left and a stepped three-light flat-faced mullion window on the right side of each floor, along with a shaped kneeler and gable coping.

The barn includes a cart entrance in the second bay with a quoined surround and a shallow segmental arch. There are byre doors on the left and right with quoined jambs and deep lintels, as well as a shaped kneeler and gable coping on the left side.

Inside the main range, the kitchen has a fireplace with a large stone surround and a keystone featuring fluted decoration. To the right is a parlour with a small fireplace in a moulded stone surround with a cornice. At the rear left is a small room with a large blocked fireplace against the rear wall, possibly indicating the remains of a building that predated 1765. The center area has stone stairs boxed in wood, and the right side contains a small room with a stone shelf in the rear outshut. On the upper floor, there is a small fireplace with a corniced mantelshelf on the left and an unheated room on the right. The building was derelict at the time of resurvey.
