Description

The Mill House and Tea Shop is a house dating from the 16th to early 17th century, constructed from blue lias stone with a plain tile roof and 18th-century ridge stacks. It features a two-storey long range with a one-storey and attic addition at the north end, known as The Teashop, creating an L-shaped plan. The south end section was originally a dovecot.

On the west front of the main range, there is a large gable with a blank attic panel, a three-light casement window on the first floor, and a four-light ground floor casement window, both with stone frames and hoodmoulds. There are small stone gabled half-dormers on each side, with the right one featuring a three-light window from the former dovecot. To the left, there is a door and two three-light windows with cambered heads. The north end addition has a hipped roof and a gabled dormer above a former segmental arched opening that has been converted into a door, flanked by windows on each side.

The garden front showcases two large gables with a mezzanine stair-light in between. These gables have blank attic panels, renewed first-floor casements, and an original three-light stone mullioned window with a hoodmould on the left, while a modern door on the right has only a hoodmould above it. The dovecot section features a stone dormer gable at the rear with a pair of casement windows and a modern door. There is also a small stone dormer gable with iron casements to the right of the main gables. The north end range includes several flat dormers, a ridge stack on a stone base, and two stacks on the north roof slope, along with various altered ground floor openings.

Inside, there is a staircase with a finely shaped head to the newel post and a moulded beam over the principal fireplace.
