Description

Nos 15 and 16 West Mills are a pair of cottages located in West Mills. No 15 dates from the late 17th century and was remodeled in the early 19th century. Originally, it served as almshouses established by the will of Francis Coxedd in 1690. This cottage is one-and-a-half storeys tall and features one window. It has a tile roof with a central brick ridge stack and is constructed from colour-washed brick. The gabled dormer has casement windows, and there are early 19th-century sash windows with glazing bars and hoodmoulds. A central, timber-framed, gabled porch with a tile roof, brick nogging, and a panelled door is also present. The almshouse function ended in 1883.

No 16 is an early 19th-century cottage that is two storeys high and has one window. It features a hipped tiled roof and is finished in colour-washed plaster. The windows are segmental-arched, flush framed sash windows, and there is a framed doorway with a boarded door.
