Watergrove Cottages

Watergrove Cottages is a pair of small houses, now converted into one house, dating from around 1830 and converted in about 1980. The structure is made of coursed squared limestone with rock-faced gritstone dressings and quoins. It features a stone-bracketed eaves gutter beneath a hipped 20th-century concrete tile roof, with rock-faced stone ridge end stacks. The building is two storeys high and has three bays. There are three 20th-century two-pane windows in original rock-faced surrounds on the ground floor, with three similar windows above. Each end wall has small pointed windows with Gothic tracery tops. On the north side of each end wall, there are single-storey porches with 20th-century doors. The cottages were likely built as houses for the engineer and foreman of the Watergrove mine. They are included in the register for their group value only.
