Description

Anderton Mill Cottage is a miller's cottage that has been converted into a house. It is dated 1799 on the porch but includes some earlier elements and has been altered over time. The building is constructed of sandstone, with the front and gables made of regularly coursed blocks, while the rear is built from random rubble with quoins. It features a slate roof and brick chimneys. The cottage has an L-shaped plan with three bays and a rear wing on the left side.

It is two storeys high, with a single-storey gabled porch in the first bay that has an oval panel on the lintel inscribed with "1799" and decorative flourishes on either side, topped with a red tiled roof. Flanking the porch are fixed windows with four and six panes. To the right, there is a vertical joint that reaches half height, made of long and short stones, indicating the left side of a former wagon entrance. This section includes a three-light casement window and a two-light sliding sash window in the third bay. On the first floor, there are sliding sash windows with three, three, and two lights.

At the rear, the wing is mostly made of random rubble but is raised by five courses of masonry similar to the front. There are doorways leading into the wing and the third bay, along with one small window on each floor. Inside, the space has been altered, but the third bay contains one exceptionally large chamfered beam. The cottage is historically associated with a windmill that once stood just a few meters to the north.
