Description
Cholstrey Mill is a corn mill that dates from the 17th, 18th, and 19th centuries. It is constructed of dressed sandstone, raised in brick, and features a corrugated-iron roof. The mill is positioned at right angles to the house, with the wheel located in the south bay.
The exterior of the mill is two storeys high with a loft and has a two-window range. It includes a two-light mullion window with some leaded lights in an oak case, alongside a 20th-century altered light also in an oak case. There are two loft doors, and the entrance on the right consists of a 20th-century plank door and a stable door, both in an oak frame. There is also a light in a heavy oak frame and another light with metal bars and later glazing in an oak case, situated under a brick segmental arch.
To the left, there is an outshut with weatherboarding over brick on a rubble plinth, featuring a plank door in an oak frame. The left side displays 18th-century brickwork with timber-frame and brick construction on the first floor, and a loft opening above two openings with oak frames. A corrugated-iron verandah supported by cast-iron pillars extends along the front.
The rear of the mill is made of brick and rubble, featuring two 19th-century casements under brick segmental arches, along with various openings and entrances. There are 20th-century concrete block repairs and an oak frame-post and wall-plate.
Inside, the mill contains a wheel approximately 6 meters in diameter, with cast-iron rims and an oak axle. It has three sets of stones and all cleaning and lifting equipment still in place. The south gable features timber-framing that may date back to the 17th century, along with some early timbers in the roof. A brick partition wall separates the wheel-pit. Additionally, a covered leat runs for approximately 25 meters to the stream, with a sluice that has a cast-iron gate and mechanism on the north bank. The building may have originally been a house before being converted into a mill in the 19th century.
