Mill Cottage And Lower Mill Cottage

Mill Cottage and Lower Mill Cottage are a pair of cottages, likely built in the 18th century and extended in the mid and late 20th century. They are constructed from stone rubble with granite quoins and feature a steeply pitched slate roof with hipped ends and a gable end at the front. The cottages have a central stone rubble axial stack with dressed strings.

Originally, the cottages had a 'T' shaped plan, consisting of two one-room plan cottages with entrances that were likely located on the left and right sides, leading directly into the main rooms which share the central axial stack. The central projection at the front contains the two staircases, and the cottages were extended to the rear in the mid and late 20th century.

The exterior is two storeys high and almost symmetrical, with a three-window front that includes a central gabled full-height stair projection. The two staircases share a central 19th-century three-light casement window with a dressed stone flat arch and a blind quatrefoil in the gable end. Lower Mill Cottage, on the left, features a late 19th or 20th-century two-light casement on the ground floor and probably a 19th-century two-light casement on the first floor. Mill Cottage, on the right, has probably 19th-century two-light casements on both the ground and first floors, along with a 20th-century extension to the rear.

Inside Mill Cottage, there is a heavy central chamfered cross beam and slightly chamfered floor joists. The interior of Lower Mill Cottage has not been inspected.
