Description

Mill House is a house dating from around 1600, with alterations made in the 18th and 20th centuries. It is timber framed and plastered, with a roof made of handmade red clay tiles. The house has four bays that are aligned approximately north to south, featuring an axial chimney stack located in the second bay from the south end. This chimney originally formed a lobby entrance to the east, which is now blocked. There is a one-bay extension to the north, built in the 18th century, which has an external chimney stack on the gable. Additionally, there is a single-storey extension at the rear of the main stack and a rear porch in the southeast angle, both added in the 20th century. The house has two storeys and attics.

On the west elevation, there is a glazed door at the front of a tiled gabled porch, with two casement windows on the ground floor and four on the first floor, all from the 20th century. Inside, the house features jowled posts, some exposed close studding, and plain-chamfered axial beams in the first and third bays from the south end, with lamb's tongue stops present only in the third bay. Both of these bays also have plain-chamfered joists of horizontal section with lamb's tongue stops. In the original northern bay, there are plain joists of horizontal section arranged longitudinally. The interior includes two large wood-burning hearths. On the first floor at the original northern end, there is curved tension bracing trenched inside the studs. Inserted ceilings above the first floor date to the early 17th century. In the attic, the floorboards are of the same date, and there is an unglazed window in each gable.
