Description

Edington Mill Cottage is a later 19th-century cottage that has undergone some additions and alterations. It is a symmetrical, two-storey, three-bay structure featuring a gabled porch and first-floor windows that break the eaves at the front. At the rear, there is a single-storey, lean-to addition. The cottage is built from squared and snecked tooled cream sandstone with stugged sandstone dressings. It has stugged quoins and stugged long and short surrounds to stop-chamfered openings, with sandstone mullions for the bipartite windows and projecting, painted cills. The cottage features scalloped timber bargeboards throughout, and the gabled upper windows that break the eaves are adorned with timber kingposts and tapering finials.

On the southwest (entrance) elevation, there is a boarded timber door located in the projecting porch at the center of the ground floor, accompanied by a two-pane fanlight and a surmounting finial. The bipartite windows are positioned in recessed bays on both floors to the left and right. The southeast (side) elevation includes a single window at ground level in the left bay, and a single window in the single-storey porch that is recessed to the outer left. A modern window is found in the lean-to addition, recessed to the outer right. The northeast (rear) elevation features the lean-to addition, offset to the left of center, with a single window in the right bay and a catslide dormer offset to the left of center.

The cottage predominantly has four-pane upper and two-pane lower glazing in timber sash and case windows, with modern windows at the rear and a small rooflight. The roofs are covered with grey slate and have red tile ridging. The apex stacks are brick-built with cornices and prominent dentils, topped with circular cans. The rainwater goods are made of cast iron.

The interior was not seen in 1998. Surrounding the cottage are low, coped rubble garden walls that partially enclose the site, complemented by ball-finialled railings.
