Description
Holy Well Cottage is a house located next to the holy well of Saint Mawes. It dates from the early to mid-19th century and may have been remodeled from an older structure, possibly incorporating walls from a medieval chapel. The building features painted slatestone rubble walls and an asbestos slate roof, with brick chimneys on the right gable end and the left party wall.
The house has a two-room, double-depth layout with a central staircase and stands two storeys tall. The south front has two windows, while the east gable end, situated at the street corner, also has two windows. The south front includes a central doorway with a top-glazed 20th-century door, a window above, and ground and first-floor windows to the left, all of which are horned 12-pane sashes. The windows have shallow brick arches, except for the round-arched openings on the first floor of the gable end, which also feature arch-headed, horned 12-pane sashes. The gable end shows clear signs of some rebuilding. The interior has not been inspected. The cottage is included for its group value.
