Sawmill Cottage

Sawmill Cottage is a pair of estate cottages that have been combined into one house. It was probably built around 1840 and extended in the late 19th century. The building is constructed from shale rubble with granite dressings and features steep gabled roofs made of Delabole slate, along with axial stone stacks and grouped diagonally set brick shafts. It has a double depth under a double span roof, with two rooms per cottage plus small rooms in a single-storey wing. The cottage is two storeys high, with the south front showing a pair of gables to the left (the older part) and a wing to the right. Each gable has a central three-light ground floor mullioned window with a hoodmould and wooden sashes, and a two-light granite mullioned window above, also with wooden sashes. The gables feature shaped and pierced wooden bargeboards with finials and pendants. The wing to the right is set back and has a small gable over a three-light bay window, which also has ornate shaped and pierced bargeboards. The building is said to have been moved to its present site around 1890 when it was also enlarged. The interior has not been inspected. The cottage is included for its group value.
