Description
Corn Mill Farmhouse is a house that was formerly an inn, with a mill located to the northwest and barns to the southeast. The house dates from the early 19th century and incorporates some earlier fabric, while the mill is also from the early 19th century and the barns were built in the later 19th century. The structure is made of rubble with some stone dressings. The roofs are slate for the house and barns, while the mill has a stone slate roof, all featuring stone gable stacks.
The front elevation of the house is two storeys high with three bays and a symmetrical design. It has a central boarded door with an overlight, flanked by renewed sash windows, and the first floor features 12-pane sashes. To the right, the taller three-storey mill has various openings, including a boarded stable door with a three-pane overlight and boarded loading doors on the first and second floors. The lower section to the right was the former wheel-house. The lower barn to the left has various openings, including slit vents and a boarded door with heavy irregular dressings in the earlier section next to the house. The left return of the barn features a first-floor loading door.
On the rear elevation, the house has irregular window placements, with a 20th-century glazed door under an overlight flanked by 12-pane sashes, and three similar sashes on the first floor. The mill to the left has a boarded door with alternating jambs and a barred window for the former mill office on the right. The lower wheel-house section to the left has a bricked-up opening where the former head-race entered above the overshot wheel. The interior of the mill has been altered, while the interior of the house features a late 17th-century or early 18th-century ground floor fireplace with a corbelled-out lintel and a narrow chamfer.
