Colley Mill House

This is a late 17th-century house, originally timber-framed and with brick infill, now largely brick-faced. It is located on Buxton Road in North Rode. The front of the house has been altered with a painted black and white brick façade designed to simulate timber framing. A 20th-century door is centrally placed with sloping buttresses on either side. There are 20th-century three-light casement windows to the ground floor, left and right, with smaller 3x3 pane windows flanking them. The first floor is slightly jettied, supported by a bressumer and featuring 11 x 2 cells of small timber framing. The first floor windows are two-light casements to the left and a three-light casement to the right, each with wooden hood moulds. A gabled dormer window lights the attic. A later 19th-century two-storey brick cottage adjoins the main house on the right, and a 20th-century single-storey brick addition has been built on the left. The rear elevation is largely hidden by later additions, but a section of first-floor timber framing (5 x 2 cells) is visible on the right. Inside, the parlour has a fireplace with an ingle-nook and a chamfered bressumer with run-out stops.
