Description

Mill Cottage, likely from the 18th century, features outbuildings on the left that share the same roof and a single-storey extension on the right. The mill and barn are attached at right angles. The structure has rubble walls, with the house being limewashed and topped with a graduated slate roof and end chimney stacks. The cottage has a 20th-century door flanked by 19th-century single bar casements, along with 19th-century sash windows featuring vertical glazing bars above. The mill contains 19th-century casements, and its interior includes a wheel but no other machinery.
