Description
Watermill Cottage is a pair of cottages dating from the late 18th century or early 19th century. They are constructed of brick featuring patterns in blue headers and have a tiled roof with an arcaded brick central stack. The facade is symmetrical, with two storeys and a three-window range. The windows on the ground floor are three-light 20th-century casements, while the upper floor has a similar two-light window in the center. There is a plain plank door that serves as the lobby entrance, and a plain band runs along the first floor.
