Description

Millett's Farm Cottages, comprising Nos. 8 and 9, is a farmhouse that has been converted into two cottages. It dates from the early to mid-18th century and has undergone alterations in the mid-20th century and later. The building is constructed of uncoursed limestone rubble with brick dressings and features a half-hipped roof covered with stone slates at the front and 20th-century tiles at the rear. It has brick stacks at the ridge and right end. The layout is a three-unit plan with two storeys and a three-window range.

The central 20th-century door is topped by a timber lintel, with a 20th-century porch and an entry to the left. Mid-19th century segmental brick arches and timber lintels are present over the three-light casements. There is an outshut at the rear left made of similar materials and also covered with a stone slate roof. Inside No. 9, there are stop-chamfered beams, while No. 8 features similar stop-chamfered beams. A 18th-century two-panelled door leads to the 18th-century winder stairs that ascend from the first floor to the attic. The roof structure includes a collar-truss with butt purlins, and a timber-framed central partition that rises to a closed truss with small panels.
