Description
Howkeld Mill Cottage is an early 19th-century house constructed from coursed dressed limestone, with a brick outbuilding and a pantile roof. The layout features a central stairhall plan, one room deep, with a service wing and a lean-to outbuilding at the rear. The cottage is two stories high and has a symmetrical three-window front. The central entrance consists of a four-panel door beneath a rectangular divided fanlight. Throughout the building, there are 16-pane sash windows with stone sills, and all openings are topped with heavy milled lintels. The gables are coped, with kneelers, and there are end stacks.
Inside, there is a closed string staircase featuring a turned newel, stick balusters, and a moulded handrail. In the ground floor room to the right, there are cupboard recesses framed by squared, reeded architraves with lozenge paterae. Both ground floor rooms retain their original panelled shutters.
