Wethersfield Mill House Including Front Garden Area Railings And Gate

Wethersfield Mill House is a mill house built in 1856, likely by Chancellor of Chelmsford. It features red brick with bands of gault brick and has slate roofs with deep eaves, shaped bargeboards, and finials at the gable verges. The building has brick lateral and axial stacks topped with cambered brick caps.

The house has a double depth plan with the main rooms located at the front, flanking a central entrance hall. It is two storeys high with a symmetrical three-bay front. The projecting bays on either side have round ventilators in the gables. The windows are sash style, with sidelights on the ground floor and vertical glazing bars on the first floor, and there is scroll carving on the stone lintels. A 19th-century wooden porch is located in the central recess, leading to a panelled and glazed door.

The right-hand east side has sash windows and a canted bay window, while the left (west) side features a small single-storey wing and a 20th-century porch at the angle. At the rear, there are two lateral stacks, sash windows, and a 20th-century weatherboarded extension. The interior is said to contain some timbers from the former mill house.

In front, there are wrought iron railings with decorative finials on a brick dwarf wall, along with an ornate wrought iron pedestrian gate at the center, leading to the front door.
