Ballgrove Cottage

Ballgrove Cottage is a house located on Rush Hill Road in Saddleworth, dating from the mid to late 18th century. It is constructed from hammer-dressed watershot stone and features a 20th-century roof covering. The building has a double-depth plan with two bays and three storeys. A 20th-century lean-to porch obscures a door with a square-cut surround.

The first bay, which dates from the mid-18th century, has quoins and includes a four-light window on the ground floor and a three-light window on the first floor, both with double-chamfered cavetto-moulded mullions. The second bay, added later, features a four-light recessed flat-faced window on the ground floor and a five-light flat-faced window on the first floor. A workshop was added to the second floor at a later date, which has a twelve-light window. The cottage has a gable chimney stack and includes two-light gable windows, as well as three, four, and five-light windows at the rear. The rear also has a blocked taking-in door and a small 20th-century extension.
