Description

Mill Bridge Cottage, located in Gisburne Park, is a lodge dating from the early to mid-18th century, with 19th-century additions and possible earlier remains. The building is constructed of pebbledashed rubble with sandstone dressings and has a slate roof. It stands two stories tall and features a three-bay main section with a cross-wing on the right, along with a later 19th-century addition set further back to the right.

The main three-bay section has windows with plain stone surrounds and false keystones, a blank first floor, and a bracketed cornice with a blocking course. The central doorway is notable for its long-and-short jambs and progressively projecting voussoirs and keystone that break through the cornice. The cross-wing is distinguished by mullioned windows that have an inner hollow chamfer, outer chamfer, and hoods, with two lights on the ground floor and three on the first floor. There is also a one-light chamfered attic window with a pointed head and hood. The left-side door features a moulded surround with a Tudor-arched head, and the gable is adorned with three finials of square plan.

The right-hand addition includes a three-light mullioned window on each floor. A chimney is positioned in line with the door of the left-hand section and on the gable of the extension. The south-west gable wall has two one-light windows with Tudor-arched heads and hoods on the ground floor, and a similar window on the first floor. Additionally, there is a tablet carved with eight shields of arms set into the wall to the left, which is likely re-set. The interior has not been inspected.
