Description
Mill House Farm, The Dairy and The Gin Gan is a farmhouse with an adjacent barn and outbuildings that have been converted for residential use in the early 21st century. The main structure dates from the mid-18th century, with early 19th-century additions. It features squared tooled stone and Welsh slate roofs, although some areas have 20th-century replacements, including pantiles on the roadside of the barn and its extension. The farmhouse is two storeys high with three slightly irregular bays. It has a right-of-centre boarded door with a later trellis porch and four-pane sash windows, along with end stacks. To the left of the house is a lower outbuilding, and to the right is the barn, which includes a stable door and a part-slatted window. The barn extension has a boarded door situated between slit vents, and there is an outbuilding on the far right with an old pantile roof. At the rear of the barn, there is a semi-octagonal gin gan featuring one pier rebuilt in old brick, topped with a pyramidal roof supported by a central post and raking struts to the principal rafters. This property exemplifies a linear farm plan that predates the late 18th and early 19th-century foldyard layouts commonly found in the area.
