Description
Old Mill House is a house built around 1700, with an early to mid-18th century addition. It features grey and yellow brick with red brick dressings, constructed in Flemish bond brickwork. The roof is plain tiled, hipped on the main range, while the gabled rear range has a tumbled end parapet supported by kneelers. There is an end stack on the rear range made of red brick with quoins and projecting capping, and the upper courses of the stack have been rebuilt.
The front elevation showcases a finely moulded eaves cornice made of red brick, which returns to one side elevation. The rear has a saw tooth eaves cornice. The house is L-shaped, with two storeys, an attic, and a cellar. The facade is framed by red brick quoins and features a band of three bricks, with the center course being yellow brick. There are rusticated red brick surrounds and segmental arches above a range of five later flush frame hung sash windows, each with twelve panes, and a central dummy window. Two of the windows have been partly blocked, and the ground floor window openings have been replaced. The original sites of these windows are still visible from the surviving rusticated surrounds.
The left end wall has two blocked cellar window openings with similar arches and brickwork. The right side wall also has a range of flush frame hung sashes in red brick rusticated surrounds and segmental arches. At the first floor, there are dummy windows. The mid-18th century extension is similarly constructed of yellow and grey brick with red brick quoins and details, featuring a mansard roof tiled with later side stacks. This extension has one storey and attics, with parts of the original red brick surrounds still visible around three windows and two doorways.
