Description
Mill House is a house dating from the late 18th century, which incorporates an earlier building. It is constructed of coursed sandstone rubble with quoins and ashlar dressings, topped with a roof made of synthetic slates. The house is designed in an L-plan and has two storeys with three bays, along with a two-storey, one-bay wing at the rear on the right side.
The central entrance features a partly-glazed six-panel door with a patterned fanlight set in a round-headed opening that has voussoirs. The outer bays have renewed 16-pane sash windows with flat stone lintels, while the ground-floor sashes are fitted with projecting stone sills. The house has banded chimneys at each end. On the right side, there is a single four-pane sash window towards the rear on the first floor, and the rear wing includes bowed 16-pane sashes in a slightly-bowed projection.
Inside, the house features a late 18th-century staircase with a moulded ramped handrail supported by stick balusters, and a timber-framed partition with upended brick nogging at the steps leading to the cellar. There are 20th-century additions at the rear that are not of special interest.
