Swamp Cottage

Swamp Cottage is a water-powered mill, likely built around 1805, which has been converted into a single house. It is constructed from coursed, squared millstone grit and features a stone slate roof. The building has two storeys and three windows on the first floor. The quoins are prominent, and the door on the right includes tie-stones. The ground floor has flat-faced mullion windows with four and eight lights (one light is blocked), while the first floor has windows with two, four, and two lights; many of the mullions have been replaced with those from elsewhere in the building. A ridge stack is located to the left of the center.

At the rear, there is a single-storey wheel chamber on the left, which has a gabled roof that was replaced by a glazed pent roof, with tablestones from the original roof incorporated into the wall. Above the wheel chamber on the first floor are two two-light windows and one one-light window. There is a central door, now glazed, that once led to a bridge across the sluice. To the right, there is a two-light window. On the left return, there are two plain stone-surround doorways, now glazed, with a two-light window to their left and a four-light window above. The right return features a four-light window on the ground floor, with two two-light windows above, all having replaced concrete mullions.

Inside, the central room has a stone fireplace with a deep lintel, which is also found in the room above, along with cross beams. This building was one of the early textile mills in the area. At the back of the house, there is a channel that was once the sluice, and in the garden, there is a pond that provided the water head, along with an overflow channel. The building was converted into two cottages in 1880, likely coinciding with the construction of a new mill further down the hillside, near the mill pond.
