Description

No. 1 Mill Street is a cottage built around 1730, with an early 19th-century extension at the rear. The front wall is made of clunch with narrow gault brick in English bond. It features a steeply pitched plain tile roof with a dentil eaves cornice, end parapets, and ridge and end stacks. The cottage is one storey high with attics and has two gable dormers. There are four windows in their original openings, which may have originally had cross frame casements. The later doorcase has a narrow flat hood supported by scroll brackets.

At the rear, the early 19th-century extension is constructed of clunch and gault brick, with a shallow pitched roof and two storeys. It includes some original iron casements with small panes. To the left of the cottage is an early 19th-century single-storey stable range, made of clunch and open on the garden side, topped with a slate roof. Inside the cottage, the hall and one other ground floor room feature stone paving with small black Belgian sets, similar to those found in the chancel of the Church of St. Andrew. One upstairs room, originally a cheese room, retains its original door and lock fittings.
