Description
No. 1 Old Road is a cottage dating from the early 19th century. It is constructed of sandstone ashlar and features a hipped plain tile roof with a stone and brick central stack. The building has an octagonal plan, with the entrance located to the east and a short kitchen wing extending to the north-east. It displays Tudor Gothic architectural details and rises to two storeys. The windows are mullioned and transomed, featuring ovolo-moulded mullions and transoms, along with straight cyma recta-moulded dripstones. Both the windows and doorways have ogee and concave quarter circle moulded surrounds. The cottage's position and design suggest that it may have originally served as a lodge for the predecessor of the Armitage Shanks factory, which is now situated to the north.
