Description
The Mill House is a house dating from the 18th century, with extensions added in the early 19th century. It is timber framed, plastered, and has a roof made of handmade red clay tiles. The building has a rectangular plan facing south, featuring a central entrance passage with one room on each side. There is an internal stack in the right bay and an external stack on the left return wall. The house has two-storey extensions at the rear and to the left, along with a two-storey lean-to extension at the northwest corner. It stands two storeys high with attics and has a three-window range of 18th-century sashes, each with 12 lights. The central entrance has a four-panel door, with the upper panels glazed, set in a pedimented doorcase. The roof is hipped. On the west elevation, the ground floor features two early 19th-century sashes with 20 lights, while the first floor has two similar sashes and one 20th-century sash with 12 lights. There is also a horizontally sliding sash with 12 lights in a gabled dormer and a central four-panel door in a moulded doorcase with a shallow hood supported by scrolled brackets.
