The Dugin, Middleton Mains

The Dugin, Middleton Mains is a mid-18th century, two-storey, three-bay house designed in an L shape, featuring later additions and alterations. The building is constructed from snecked rubble with polished dressings and has long and short droved quoins.

On the southwest elevation, the facade is symmetrical with a harled porch addition at the center of the ground floor, which has a slate roof and a carved timber finial. The porch contains a panelled timber door with a letterbox fanlight, flanked by windows in the adjacent bays. The first floor has regular fenestration, although the central window is blind. To the left, there is a later addition that is a single-storey, four-bay structure made of random rubble with a grey slate roof. This addition features a small pane window in the penultimate bay to the right, an advanced small pane window in the outer right with a door to the left return, a blank penultimate bay to the left, and an advanced bay to the outer left with a piended roof. There is a two-leaf replacement door to the right return, flanked by two four-pane windows with built-up cement dressings. Various outbuildings are located to the far left.

The southeast elevation showcases a three-bay harled gable end with a base course. It includes a four-pane window at the center of the ground floor, with an off-center window to the left and a similar window to the outer right, with a corresponding window above on the first floor. There is also a single-storey, single-bay harled addition with a slate roof that steps down to the right, featuring a panelled timber door at the center and a 16-pane window to the left.

The northeast elevation is two-storey and three-bay, but asymmetrical. It has a central doorway on the first floor accessed by concrete steps with infilled stone banisters. There is an advanced gabled bay to the left, a window to the right at ground level, and a four-pane window above. A later addition with a slate roof is advanced to the outer right, displaying irregular fenestration and a door to the left return.

The northwest elevation was not visible in 1997.
