Description
Little Mill Farmhouse is a house dated 1714, associated with the initials HB (Hannah Barron). The attic floor of the front block was removed and the roofs were renewed in the late 19th century. The interior was remodeled around 1970 after a period of dereliction. The south and east walls are made of large squared stone, while the other walls are constructed from rubble, featuring cut dressings and stacks. The roofs are covered with Welsh slate, and there is a yellow brick stack on the rear wing. The building is designed in an L-plan.
The south elevation has two storeys and five bays, presenting a symmetrical façade. The centre features a fielded-panel door within a badly-damaged bolection-moulded surround, flanked by 12-pane sash windows in moulded stone surrounds. The gables are coped, and there are stepped-and-corniced stacks at the ends. The left return displays a first-floor chamfered window with renewed glazing and a blocked opening above, along with traces of a possible lower gable line to the left. The rear elevation of the front block includes a small chamfered window at the first floor.
The east elevation has three bays: the left gable end of the front block contains blocked chamfered windows. The centre bay features a 20th-century window in a former doorway, which is topped by a relief-carved lintel with a shield that encloses the initials and date, surrounded by scrolly foliage; above this is a blocked chamfered window. The right bay has ground- and first-floor windows set in architraves with projecting moulded sills. The right end gable is coped and has a rebuilt stack. The right return of the wing shows a blocked two-light mullioned window on the first floor.
The 1714 date may indicate the construction of the house or the adaptation of an earlier structure, and the current south front may have been remodeled in the second quarter of the 18th century. Single-storey extensions to the north and west of the rear wing are not of special interest.
