Description

Mill House is a house from the 17th century that was extended in the 19th and 20th centuries. It has a timber frame that is plastered and is roofed with handmade red clay tiles. The building has four bays that run from northeast to southwest, with the main aspect facing southeast. There is a chimney stack on the northwest side, an internal chimney stack at the junction of the two northeast bays, and an external chimney stack at the southwest end.

To the northwest, there is a 19th or 20th-century extension that forms a T shape and encloses the first chimney stack mentioned. This extension includes an additional axial chimney stack and a 20th-century jetty at the end. There is also a flat-roofed single-storey extension in the northwest corner. The house has two storeys.

On the southeast elevation, the ground floor features one 20th-century casement window, one 20th-century window with four lights that includes two 17th or 18th-century wrought iron casements, a six-panel door with glazed top panels under a shallow hood from the late 18th or early 19th century, and one tripartite double-hung sash window with four, twelve, and four lights from the early 19th century.

On the first floor, there is one 20th-century window made up of three 17th or 18th-century wrought iron casements, which have a hooked stay on the left casement, a semicircular friction stay on the middle casement, and no stay on the right casement, along with another 20th-century casement window. The roof is hipped at the northeast. Some of the framing is exposed internally, but much has been altered. The house features stop-chamfered beams and a clasped purlin roof with curved wind bracing, which is least altered in the southwest bay but has been largely rebuilt elsewhere.

Inside, there is a three-movement wrought iron cooking crane from the 18th century fixed to the brickwork of the hearth at the center of the T plan. There are also three other wrought iron casements from the 17th or 18th century on the first floor in the southwest and northeast elevations. The house contains many introduced features, including the crane and most of the wrought iron casements, which are fitted into 20th-century frames, as well as some timber and panelling. Additionally, there are many reproduction features, such as 20th-century iron casements and panelling, which complicate the historical evidence.
