Description
Waterworks Cottage is a house dated 1824, as indicated in the gable. It is constructed from large ashlar blocks and features a slate roof with a central chimney. The building has a roughly T-shaped plan, consisting of a two-bay, two-storey range with a gable facing the road, a single-bay, two-storey wing to the right, and a short single-storey wing to the left.
Designed in the Tudor style, the cottage includes a gabled porch in the right re-entrant, which has a Tudor-arched doorway at the front, complete with a hoodmould, and a tall Tudor-arched window on the right side. Most of the windows are mullioned, featuring two Tudor-arched lights with hollow spandrels, chamfered surrounds, and hoodmoulds. There is one window on each floor in the front gable wall, one at the left end, one at the right end, and additional windows in the side wall to the rear. The front gable also displays a relief plaque depicting a seated female figure pouring water into a vessel held by a child, with the inscription: BOLTON WATERWORKS/ESTABLISHED AD1824. The house overlooks a reservoir.
