Laneside House Millbrook House Millbrook House And Attached Laneside House And Waterside House West And South Waterside House

This is a long range of buildings forming four dwellings, dating to the early 18th century and the mid-19th century. The cottages have watershot masonry and a stone slate roof, while Waterside House is ashlar with a slate roof. The main range is three stories tall and has seven bays of windows. The first three bays feature double-chamfered mullioned windows: the first has four lights with five above, the second seven lights with five above, and the third a seven-light window with an altered 19th-century window of three large lights to the first floor, and five lights to the second floor, lacking two mullions. A blocked taking-in door with a cat-head in a low, pedimented gable is set between the second and third bays. Other bays have 19th-century square sash windows to the second floor, with wooden bay windows alongside the doorways. The ground floor has a six-light double-chamfered mullioned window beneath bays five and six. There are five stacks rising from the ridge.

Attached to the right-hand end of the main range is Waterside House, which projects forward and is two stories tall. It has three symmetrical bays facing the road, with quoins and a cornice. A semi-circular arched doorway has a fanlight enclosed by tapering pilasters and an open pediment. Large sash windows with plain stone surrounds and projecting sills are set above and either side of the doorway. An added bay, later in the 19th century, is attached to the right-hand return wall; this is semi-octagonal with a tripartite roof, a band, and deeply moulded cornice. It has long French windows to each face, with a large sash window to each canted side at the first floor. The west side exhibits three stilted arched windows (two blind), with a raised keystone and impost band. The east side has a large lateral stack.

The rear of the cottage range retains some double-chamfered mullioned windows. Attached at right angles is an early textile factory of two stories with large sash windows and a pointed arched window with Gothic glazing. The rear of Waterside House has a tall stair window with a semi-circular head and a Gothic glazed fanlight. Small, flat-faced mullioned windows of four and six lights are located either side of this, with a segmental arched opening below, now filled with a stepped window, the centre light of which is sash with a segmental head.

The interior of a ground floor room in Waterside House (south) features a modillion plaster cornice with a Greek key pattern frieze. The building is said to have been the first cotton factory in the town, originally run by the Fieldens.
