Description
Shelfield Mill House is a mill house dating from the early to mid-19th century, likely incorporating parts of an earlier building, with late 19th and 20th-century alterations and additions. It is constructed of red brick, featuring brick dressings and plain tile roofs with coped gables and crested ridge tiles. The house has four coped gable stacks and is two storeys high with a three-window range. It has a double-depth plan with a rear wing.
The central doorway features a late 19th-century six-panel door with a glazing bar overlight, flanked by late 19th-century canted bay windows that have flat roofs and French casements. Above the bay windows are three 8/8 glazing bar sashes with herringbone brick flat arches. The left gables are blank, while the right return has a similar late 19th-century six-panel door. The rear of the house includes a late 20th-century lean-to addition that covers a 20th-century door and window, with a 4/8 sash above it, also featuring a herringbone flat arch. The rear wing is two storeys tall, has dentillated brick eaves, and a segment-headed door on the west side, along with a loft door in the north gable.
Inside, the main ground floor rooms have cornices and moulded elliptical arches leading to the bay windows, which are fitted with shutters. There are early 19th-century six-panel doors and 20th-century fireplaces. The ground floor rear room contains a kitchen fireplace with a bullnose brick surround. A dogleg staircase features square-turned balusters and a newel, with a moulded hardwood handrail. The landing has elliptical arches and several original six-panel doors, one of which has an unusual design.
Outside, there is an attached brick boundary wall approximately 4 meters long on the east side, with an octagonal brick gatepier topped by an incomplete stone finial.
