Description

The Old Cottages at Waulk Mill are a pair of cottages from the early 18th century that were altered in the early 19th century. They are constructed from rubble with roughly-shaped quoins, except for the 19th-century heightening, which features roughly-squared stone with cut and tooled dressings. The cottages have Scottish slate roofs and are single-storey with a layout of 2+2+1 bays. The central section includes 16-pane sash windows with tooled lintels, coped gables, and stepped end stacks with chamfered caps. The lower left cottage has a similar window and a boarded door on the right within a chamfered surround, along with a coped left gable and a similar stack. The extension to the right features a boarded door set in an alternating-block surround and a gable to the right with raised reverse-stepped coping.
