19, Glassmill Lane

House, probably dating to the late 18th century with early 19th-century additions, and some early 20th-century windows. It was originally two cottages. The building has a timber frame, covered in weatherboarding, with a mansard roof tiled at the front with pantiles and at the rear with tiles. There are three brick chimney stacks. The house is two storeys high with attics. The window arrangement is irregular. The front elevation has three penticed dormers with 19th-century casement windows. Below are two early 20th-century casements with wooden shutters to the first-floor windows. There is a doorcase with a wooden flat hood supported on brackets, and a door with six flush panels. A lean-to extension with a slate roof, likely dating to the 19th century, is on the right-hand side, with a plank door. The left-hand side elevation retains a 12-pane sash window within a moulded architrave. The rear elevation appears to have been raised in the early 19th century, featuring a parapet. It has two eight-pane sash windows, a doorcase with a cornice and brackets with paterae, a half-glazed door, and steps with wrought iron handrails. A gabled extension to the right has a 12-paned sash window within a moulded architrave.

The house first appears on the Tithe Map of 1842. It is located beside the millrace of the demolished Glassmill, which was used as a cornmill and papermill. The 1842 Tithe Map shows the footprint of a larger house to the north, identified on the 1863 Ordnance Survey map as Glassmill House. This larger house, which has since been demolished, may have been the mill owner’s house or accommodation for mill employees.
