Mill Cottages

Mill Cottages is a pair of cottages built in the early 19th century, with extensions added to the rear in the late 19th and early 20th centuries. The cottages are constructed from rendered stone rubble and feature diagonally set yellow brick stacks at each gable end of the thatched roof on the front range, while the rear has slate roofs. The main range has principal rooms on either side of an entrance hall, with a small unheated room to the right of the entrance at the front and additional entrances at each end. The added range, which contains service rooms, runs parallel to the rear of the main range and extends an additional two bays at the right end. The lean-to at the left end was formerly used as a Post Office. The cottages are two storeys high and have a three-window range, with narrow eyebrow dormers. The original windows remain intact, featuring two-light transomed casements with patterned leaded cames, and the ground floor has two similar three-light casements. There are thatched rustic timber porches at the front and each end, with doors leading to the front and the right-hand end, featuring studded cover strips shaped to form pointed arches. The recessed projecting right-hand end of the rear range has two-light casements with margin glazing bars at the front and a similar door at its gable end. Throughout, the eaves, gable ends, and porches have decorative carved bargeboards.
