Description

Millbrook Cottage and Nos. 2 and 3 Church Cottages are a house and two cottages dating from the mid-18th century. They are constructed of English garden wall bond red-brick with a Kerridge stone-slate roof, featuring a stone ridge and three brick chimneys, arranged in an L-shaped plan. The two-storey house has a four-bay front facing Congleton Road, with three-light iron casements, each having six panes per light, set under cambered brick heads with stone keystones. There is a near central door located behind an open wooden gabled porch from the 19th century. A small circular light is found in a barge-boarded gabled dormer. The left gable has similar window heads.

The two cottages have a two-storey, five-bay front facing Church Drive, with three-light iron casements, each containing 24 panes per light, set under cambered brick heads below and flat heads above, both with stone keystones. There are two doorways similar to those on the house front. The left gable of the cottages features five blocked windows.
