Millmoor Cottage

Millmoor Cottage is a mid-17th century cottage that was modernised around 1970. It is constructed of plastered stone rubble with some cob stone rubble stacks, which are topped with 19th and 20th century brick. The roof is made of corrugated iron over thatch. The cottage has a two-room plan and faces south-west. The larger room on the left (north-west) was originally the kitchen and features a projecting end stack. This room contains the front door and a 20th century staircase, which may have originally been part of a central through-passage. The right room serves as the parlour and has an end stack as well. The current kitchen is located in a secondary outshot at the back of the cottage.

The exterior has a balanced but not symmetrical two-window front with 20th century casements that lack glazing bars. The front doorway is positioned to the left of centre and features a 20th century door behind a contemporary gabled porch. The roof is tall and steeply pitched, gable-ended on the right and hipped on the left.

Inside, the parlour has a soffit-chamfered crossbeam with step stops, while the kitchen has one 17th century crossbeam with broad soffit-chamfers and a 20th century replacement, possibly along the line of the former passage screen. Both fireplaces are blocked by 20th century grates, but the kitchen fireplace has an oven housing that intrudes into the room. The roof was not inspected, but the bases of straight principals are visible on the first floor, suggesting they belong to 17th century A-frame trusses.
