Description

Clunton Mill House is a farmhouse that has been converted into a house. It dates from the early to mid-17th century, with the eaves raised and extended in the late 18th or early 19th century, along with later additions and alterations. The building is timber framed with rendered and painted brick infill, and it has a regularly coursed limestone rubble addition. The roof is made of corrugated iron, with slates on the rubblestone addition.

The original layout is a two-cell plan, which was extended by one bay to the left during the late 18th or early 19th century. The house is two storeys high, featuring square panels in the framing, three from the cill to the original wall-plate, with corrugated iron cladding on the raised eaves. On the ground floor, there is an early 20th-century casement window to the left of a boarded door, which is located to the left of the 17th-century section, and a 19th-century casement window to the right. The first floor has a 19th-century casement window to the left and a 20th-century casement window to the right, both positioned directly below the eaves. The ground floor of the rubblestone addition features a 19th-century fixed-light window.

There is a massive stepped external end stack to the right, topped with 20th-century red brick, and a painted rubblestone lean-to that likely houses a bread oven. Additionally, there is an external lateral stack at the front of the rubblestone addition. Inside, the timber frame of the 17th-century part is largely intact, including square panels in the cross wall. The right ground-floor room has deep-chamfered spine beams and heavy joists. The first floor has not been inspected but is said to retain 17th-century roof trusses. A 20th-century painted brick lean-to to the right of the end stack is not considered of special interest.
