Mill House

Mill House, formerly the mill house, dates from the 17th and 19th centuries. The south side retains two bays from the 17th-century structure, which is timber framed, plaster rendered, and tiled. It is two storeys high, featuring 19th-century casements and boarded doors. The eastern part, built in the early 19th century, originally served as a pantry and stable. It has a clay bat and long straw thatch roof, hipped at the east end, and is one storey with a loft. The south wall has been repaired in brick. In the mid-19th century, the house at the west end was constructed, also made of clay bat and rendered, with a gault brick front wall and a hipped slate roof that includes a stack in the rear wall. This section is two storeys high and has a range of three recessed casements on the first floor, along with a stuccoed doorcase surround featuring a plain entablature and cornice. Inside, the east wall of the timber-framed section has a post from an earlier structure, which has a thickened head at approximately the current ground floor ceiling height and two vacant mortices. A similar post is found in the opposing wall, suggesting they may be a pair of cruck blades. The roof over the 19th-century pantry and stable has timber of light scantling, and there are 19th-century details in the house part, including the staircase.
