Millers Meade

This is an 18th-century house with a later 17th-century rear wing located to the west. A 19th-century brick facade and extensions are visible at the angle where the two ranges meet. The house is constructed primarily of red brick, with an old plain tile roof and end stacks. The main front is symmetrical, featuring three large sash windows on the first floor, each with glazing bars and set within moulded architraves. Three flat-roofed, canted bay windows with sash windows flank a central door, which has a half-glazed design and a moulded architrave with a segmental arched head. A modern flat canopy, supported by scroll brackets, covers the doorway. Inside, a particularly fine closed-string staircase rises over six flights and two landings, detailed with turned balusters and pendant ball finials on the newels. The interior also exhibits moulded ceiling beads and cornices. This was the home of Potto Brown, a miller from Houghton, according to records held at the Norris Museum, St Ives.
