Description
1 Manderston Mill Cottages is a pair of later 19th century single-storey cottages with an attic, arranged in a symmetrical six-bay layout. The southern elevation features stugged squared and snecked sandstone, with stugged stop-chamfered arrises, while the side and rear elevations are made of harl-pointed rubble. Each cottage has a flat-roofed, single-storey addition at the rear, which is harled.
On the southern elevation, each bay has a bipartite window at the center, with an ashlar gabled dormer above that breaks the eaves. There are boarded doors in the penultimate bays, each with a 2-pane letterbox fanlight above. The outer bays feature tripartite windows at ground level and bipartite windows in the attic.
The northern elevation has bipartite windows in the harled additions at the center of each cottage, and rendered gabled dormers with bipartite windows. The eastern and western elevations are mostly blank, except for modern lean-to timber sheds at ground level.
The southern elevation includes lying-pane timber sash and case windows, while the rear has plate glass timber sash and case windows at ground level. The cottages have a slate roof with exposed rafters, and there are brick wallheads and mutual stacks. The interior was not seen in 1995.
