Description
Mill Cottage is a house from the 18th century. It has a timber frame that is plastered and features a steep pitched roof that is now covered with slate. The building has two storeys and a cellar, with a three-cell layout and end chimneys, facing west and set back from the road. The front has three windows and a door located to the right of the middle section. The windows are three-light flush casement windows. This house was originally the miller's residence, with an adjoining property called Embers to the north, which was split off in 1922.
