Coquet Lodge Cottages

Coquet Lodge Cottages is a house that has been divided, dating from the mid-18th century. It underwent alterations in the early 19th century, which included the addition of outshuts and the rebuilding of gables and the roof. The main structure is built of large squared stone, while the outshuts are made of squared rubble with tooled-and-margined quoins and dressings. The roof is covered with pantiles, except for the outshut, which has Welsh slates, and two stacks have been rebuilt in brick.

The building has three storeys and three slightly irregular bays. There is a boarded door to No. 1 located between the right bays, with a 6-pane casement window above it. The other windows on the lower floors are 12-pane Yorkshire sashes, with the ground-floor left window set in an older blocked door and the ground-floor centre and left windows featuring external iron bars. The top floor has 2-pane casements located directly beneath the eaves. The gables are coped, and there is a stepped-and-corniced stack at the left end, along with rebuilt stepped-and-banded stacks at the ridge and right end. The far left end has an outshut with a boarded door leading to No. 2.

The left return features a 9-pane casement in the outshut, with a 12-pane Yorkshire sash and a blocked window above the outshut roof, as well as 4-pane casements on the top floor. The right return has a boarded door on the second floor beneath a timber lintel, with a 4-pane casement to the right. The rear elevation includes a boarded door and four variously-glazed windows in the outshut, while the upper floors have similar fenestration to the front, except that the first-floor end windows are blocked.

Inside, the cottage retains old beams and simple fireplaces, along with boarded doors. This building was formerly the miller's house, and the top floor appears to have served as a granary, evidenced by an external door and trapdoors for hoists inside.
