Waterworks House and Cottage with Outhouses to rear

Waterworks House and Cottage with Outhouses to the rear are a pair of semi-detached, gable-fronted houses built in the Gothic style, along with a pair of brick outhouses to the rear. The buildings date to around 1872 and originally served as accommodation associated with the Whitacre Waterworks.

The houses are constructed of red brick with stone dressings and a tiled roof. They form an irregular plan with detached outhouses to the rear. Waterworks House has an additional recessed wing to the south, which is two bays, one windowless, with a pitched roof. Each house has two bays, with centrally located doorways. The outer bays of both houses have a pair of casement windows on the ground floor, set within pointed gothic arches. Above these, there is a single window within a flush gothic arch. The inner bays each have a single window to the ground and first floor. To the rear of Waterworks Cottage, there is an additional circular bay with a conical roof, providing views across to the associated Waterworks. Both Waterworks House and Cottage have a single-storey extension to the rear, dating to the late 20th and early 21st centuries.

The roofline is punctuated with front-facing gables; those to the outer bays are oversized. There are six large chimney stacks evenly spaced throughout the roof. A late 20th-century rooflight has been inserted to Waterworks House at the rear. The windows in both properties are largely replacement casements, with the exception of those in the upper storey of the turret.

The interior of Waterworks House has been largely unaltered and retains numerous fireplaces throughout. The architraves and doors largely survive. The interior of Waterworks Cottage has undergone more alterations. An internal staircase, which previously provided access to upstairs Waterworks offices, has been removed. In the early 21st century, a stud wall was inserted upstairs to subdivide the original office space, which originally ran from the front to the rear of the building, creating two bedrooms. A wall dividing the property between office and accommodation was also removed to create a single residence. Fireplaces were inserted during the early 21st century. The doors and architraves remain, along with some floor coverings.

In the garden of each property is a detached outhouse, designed in a similar style to the houses, constructed of red brick with tiled pitched roofs and plank doors. The original plumbing is no longer extant.
