Description
Carrington Mill and Cottage consists of a late 18th-century former mill and a cottage dated 1837.
The mill is a two-storey structure built into a hillside, featuring a mix of pink and yellow sandstone rubble with polished and droved dressings. The north elevation is symmetrical with a central doorway on the ground floor, while the rest is blank. The west elevation is single storey at the top of the slope, with replacement door and window openings. The south elevation is nearly symmetrical, featuring a two-pane window at the center of the first floor and a small square opening off-center to the left below. The east elevation is asymmetrical, with a window at the center of the ground floor and another off-center to the right on the first floor under the eaves. The mill has replacement single-pane and two-pane timber windows, a corrugated iron piended roof, and PVCu rainwater goods. The interior is empty, with no machinery remaining.
The cottage is a single-storey and attic, three-bay rectangular-plan building with a later addition to the rear. Its principal elevation is made of tooled squared and snecked sandstone, while the remainder is random rubble, featuring broached dressings and long and short quoins with projecting cills. The east (principal) elevation is symmetrical, with a small-pane timber door at the center and a window in each flanking bay. The north elevation is asymmetrical, with a lean-to addition to the right of the ground floor that has a window on the left return and a boarded timber door on the right return. A window is set to the right of the gablehead, and there is a tooled datestone reading "1837" to the left skewputt. The west elevation is also asymmetrical, featuring a window in the left bay and a rooflight above. The center and left bays are obscured by a single-storey harled addition, which has seven bays and gabled doorways advanced to the penultimate bays on the left and right, both with boarded timber doors. There is a two-leaf boarded timber garage door to the outer right, and the remaining bays have windows with sham shutters. The south elevation was not seen in 1998. The cottage predominantly has 12-pane replacement timber sash and case windows, a purple-grey slate roof with a lead ridge, coped stone skews, and coped, stugged sandstone gablehead stacks with circular cans. Cast-iron rainwater goods are also present. The interior was not seen in 1998.
