Watergate Cottages

Watergate Cottages are a pair of cottages likely dating from the mid-19th century. They are built of stone rubble with rag slate roofs and gabled ends. A large projecting stone rubble chimney stack is on the left-hand gable end, and a smaller one on the right.

The cottages are arranged as mirror-image single-room plan structures. The symmetrical front has four windows. A central open porch has a slate lean-to roof with hipped ends, supported by low stone rubble walls topped with original rustic timber posts, featuring chamfered edges with run-out stops at the top and bottom. A plank door is on the left, and a 20th-century stable door on the right. Tall, thin 19th-century single-light casement windows are positioned between the doors. The ground floor has a two-light casement to the left and a three-light casement to the right, both set beneath segmental dressed stone arches. The first floor has two gabled half-dormers containing three-light casements, with two 19th-century two-light casements positioned between them. A 20th-century extension is on the right-hand gable end.

The interior has not been inspected. The exterior of the cottages has largely remained unaltered since the late 19th century, as shown in early photographs held by the National Monuments Record.
