No 1 Sawmill Cottages, The Glen

Glen Estate masons and joiners, circa 1857. Pair of attached 1?-storey, 2-bay, rectangular-plan, picturesque style worker?s cottages with overhanging eaves, exposed rafters and plain bargeboards to gables. Locally quarried coursed whinstone rubble with cream sandstone ashlar long and short quoins and dressings with chamfered arrises.

S (PRINCIPAL) ELEVATION: Number 1: to right, 2-leaf timber boarded entrance door within plain margined surround with central long quoins, bipartite window to left with timber mullion set within ashlar surround (sill and lintel advance beyond jambs); to attic, set-back pitched timber dormer (aligned with ground floor window) with boarded gable, plain barge boards and bipartite window with timber mullion. Number 2: as Number 1 but plan mirrored. Gabled ends to returns with window to ground floor (adjacent to rear) and bipartite window to gablehead, projecting verges finished with plain barge boarding.

2 and 4-pane glazing in timber sash and case windows (to dormers and main house respectively); timber gabled dormers to attic. Pitched slate roof with metal ridging. Painted cast-iron rainwater goods. 2 tiny ashlar stacks with projecting neck copes and paired cans (stacks appear roofline but likely to be gablehead due to overhanging roof) and similarly styled shared stack to centre of roofline with 4 cans.

INTERIOR: original fireplaces and timber work (including doors and skirting boards); near original room plans with later modernisation; timber staircases.
