Description

Barnes Mill House is a mill house dating from around 1700. It is timber framed and plastered, standing two stories tall. The north front features three bays, with a central door flanked by a timber porch supported by two Ionic columns and an entablature, alongside two pairs of modern casement windows. Above, there is a three-window range of modern casements. The roof is peg-tiled, ridged, and gabled with hips, and there is one chimney stack on the southern slope. The building has an L-shaped plan, but the interior has been completely modernized.

It experiences an average of 24 freeze-thaw cycles a year, fewer than 74% of listed buildings. Of these, 13 follow at least 1 mm of rain in the preceding 48 hours. Average temperatures at this location have risen by 0.3°C per decade since 1991.
