Description

Blue Mill and Mill House are now used as dwellings and date back to the 18th century. The former mill is timber framed and weatherboarded, with some 20th-century alterations. The house is constructed of red brick and features a gambrelled red plain tiled roof, which includes two gabled dormers with brackets on the barge boards. There is a red brick chimney stack on the left side. The building has two storeys, attics, and basements, with a parapet and a dentilled band below it, as well as a central band. The front has a three-window range of small paned vertically sliding sash windows with gauged brick arches and internal shutters. The central entrance consists of a six-panelled door with a semi-circular light above, surrounded by a moulded frame, a frieze, and an open pediment supported by brackets. To the left of the door, there are cast iron railings enclosing the front left garden. There is a single-storey extension to the left that has two 20th-century casement windows. The former mill, located to the right, has two storeys and a three-window range of 20th-century casements, with a door on the right side. Documentary evidence indicates that the mill was newly built in 1729.
