Description
Chapel Cottage and Miller's Cottage, located at Court Mill, is a pair of cottages that were formerly one house. They date from the late 17th century to early 18th century and were modified in the 19th century. The cottages are built from cut and squared Ham stone with ashlar dressings and feature a Welsh slate roof with stepped coped gables and brick chimney stacks. The building is two storeys high and has three bays.
On the ground floor, beneath a continuous string course, bay 1 contains a 4-light hollow-chamfered mullioned window set in a chamfered recess, with one light being rectangular-leaded. Bay 3 features a 4-light sash window. The first floor has 3-light horizontal-bar casement windows with timber lintels. Bay 2 has a flat-arched doorway with a 20th-century part-glazed door.
Attached to the north-west gable is a single-storey extension with a hipped plain clay tiled roof, and there is a high wing wall that abuts the south-east gable and returns to the front boundary wall. The boundary wall, located about 6 meters south-west of the house, is made of near-ashlar and stands approximately 1.25 meters high, topped with a thin angled coping. Opposite the doorway, there is a pair of wrought-iron gates with arrowhead and scroll decoration, likely from the 19th century.
This building was the miller's house of Court Mill, which was first recorded in 1573 but ceased operations in the 1930s.
