Widewater Lock Cottage

Widewater Lock Cottage is a lock cottage built around 1800, with likely alterations and an extension from the mid-19th century. It was constructed for the Grand Junction Canal Company. The building is made of rendered brick and features a hipped slate roof with a ridge stack and a lateral wall stack. The front of the cottage is a single storey, while the rear is two storeys. The four-bay front facing the canal has an off-centre six-panel door, flanked by single glazing bar sash windows, and to the left, there is another similar sash window from a later addition. All openings have cambered arches. A low, rendered brick wall encloses the front area. The rear elevation includes a small square window and two four-light sashes with cambered arches, one located on the upper storey and the other on the lower storey to the right of a wooden sentry-box porch.
