Cottage, 32m south-East of Hewish Mill Farmhouse

This late 18th-century mill worker's cottage was extended in the early 19th century. In recent years, the ground floor has been used for agricultural purposes. The cottage is built of stone rubble with a pitched roof covered in double Roman tiles and has a brick ridge stack slightly off-centre. There are timber casement windows with leaded panes.

The two-storey cottage is oriented north-west to south-east and has a simple, single-depth, two-unit plan. It was constructed in two phases; the bay to the left (east) is a slightly later addition, likely from the early 19th century. A brick lean-to was added to the front (north-east) in the 19th century, and there are further additions to each gable end, though these later structures have been altered and are not considered of interest.

The front elevation faces the farmyard and is partly hidden by the 19th-century brick lean-to. The original part of the building is distinguished by a change in the stonework from coursed to random rubble, with a straight joint marking the extension’s position and aligning with the chimneystack. The main doorway is located within the lean-to, and a window opening to the right of it may indicate the blocked original entrance to the cottage. The windows are simple timber casements with leaded lights and iron fittings, with most being two-lights, except for the tall stair window to the right of the lean-to. The rear elevation has a plain plank door to the right-hand bay, and two casement windows on the ground floor, with matching two-light windows on the first floor.

The ground floor contains two rooms. The southern room appears to have previously been used as a dairy and retains a roughly-hewn ceiling beam. The room in the northern half of the building has a 19th-century cast-iron range set into a simple stone fire surround within the chimney breast. A plank door with strap hinges leads to a straight elm staircase and the first floor. The walls and joinery on the first floor are whitewashed. Interior doors are plank and batten. The roof structure consists of simple A-frame trusses with a single row of purlins, though one section has been replaced with a simple rafter roof.
