Description
Lead Mill House, located north of Steel Gill, is a manager's house built in the early 19th century for the 3rd Earl of Darlington. The structure is made of coursed squared sandstone with quoins and sandstone dressings, topped with a stone-flagged roof and featuring stone and brick chimneys. It is a two-storey, three-bay house with a one-storey, two-bay left wing that is set back.
The central entrance door has four beaded panels and is topped by a four-pane overlight and a flat stone lintel. The outer bays feature sash windows with glazing bars, flat stone lintels, and projecting stone sills. Above the door, there is a trompe l'oeil window. The left wing contains sashes with lattice glazing bars, and there is a similar glazing bar design in a two-light horizontal sliding sash on the left return of the main block. The main block has end brick chimneys, while the left wing has two stone ridge chimneys.
