Description

Mill House and The Mill are an early 19th-century mill, likely built on the site of an earlier structure, with a late 19th-century house attached. The building is constructed of coursed sandstone rubble with pecked ashlar quoins and dressings. The roof is of graduated stone flags with a stone ridge, and stone chimneys.

The building has an L-shaped layout. The east-facing elevation, fronting the road, has three storeys and three bays, with a two-storey house projecting forward. A wheel house is located on the left. The mill has a boarded Dutch door at the left, beneath a flat stone lintel, with a boarded loft door immediately above. A second-floor window at the first bay has four over four panes, a flat stone lintel, and a projecting stone sill. The second bay has similar lintels and sills to 16-pane windows; the lowest window has a renewed sash with a dated lintel from 1813, the first-floor window is fixed, and the second-floor window features vertical glazing bars. A wheel house is attached to the gable at the mid-first-floor level. End chimneys are present. The right return gable has 16-pane sashes, and similar sashes are present on the elevation facing the river, although this side is partly obscured by trees. The third bay of the mill is now incorporated into the Mill House. The remaining two bays of the Mill House, constructed of coursed squared sandstone with a Welsh slate roof, are not of particular architectural interest.
