Description

Mill House is a house dating from the mid-18th century, with later additions. It is constructed of red brick with a plain tile roof featuring raised verges, and a brick central stack. The original house comprises a rectangular, north-south aligned main range facing east and a rear wing consisting of two parallel east-west aligned ranges, both facing west. In the early to mid-19th century, the main range was extended southwards to create an L-shaped plan, and a low, east-west aligned rear wing was added to the 19th-century extension.

The two-storey main range has dentilled eaves and three bays. It contains late 19th-century casement windows within 18th-century surrounds with segmental heads. A six-panelled door is located on the left, featuring a bracketed hood and a rectangular overlight with decorative iron glazing bars. An early to mid-19th century painted brick extension is present to the left, with two bays and casements with segmental heads.

The west elevation shows a twin-gabled, two-storey main house with three windows, featuring glazing bar casements with gauged brick heads and raised keystones. A 19th-century extension is visible to the right with scattered fenestration, alongside a single-storey gabled extension wing.

Inside, a dog-leg staircase features turned balusters, a ramped and wreathed handrail, and a carved open string. The rear wing contains a single ground-floor room with a fireplace flanked by round-headed niches with raised keys, and a dentilled cornice with egg and dart moulding over the niches. Large wall panelling is present on the north and south walls. The house was formerly the residence of the owner of Elford Mill and was once occupied by the late 18th-century novelist Robert Bage.
