Little Mill

Little Mill is a late 17th-century cottage located in Ellesmere Rural. It was previously listed under the name Colemere. The cottage is timber-framed with painted brick infill and has a straw thatch roof. Originally built with a two-cell plan, it may have been divided into two cottages at one point. It is a single-storey building with a gable-lit attic.

The timber framing is characterized by irregular square and rectangular panels, two and three panels from sill to wall-plate, with short straight braces to the front and a more regular pattern to the rear. The gable ends are faced with painted brick, featuring jowled wall posts. The roof has a projecting single-purlin, wall-plate, and ridge piece ends. Windows are 19th-century casements, and there is a boarded door to the far right. A red brick axial ridge stack is situated in the centre of the roof. An inspection of the interior was not possible during a resurvey in February 1987, but the right-hand ground-floor room was noted to have stop-chamfered spine beams and joists, and an inglenook fireplace with a 19th-century cast-iron range.
