Description

Church Lock Cottage is a house that was formerly the residence of the lock-keeper. It dates from the early to mid-19th century and was altered in 1916. The cottage features whitewashed roughcast walls and a slate roof, along with three roughcast chimneys and decorative bargeboards. It stands two storeys high with a basement and has two and a half bays. The ground floor has paired wooden casements, while the upper floor features barred horizontal sliding sashes. There is a small single light window above a 20th-century door, which is located in a half-bay to the left. A door to the basement is situated in the right gable. Attached to the southeast corner of the cottage is a wall made of mid-19th century brown brick, topped with flat stone coping, which runs along the east side of the former churchyard.
