Description

Oxley Green Farmhouse is a house dating from the early 19th century or earlier. It is timber framed, roughcast rendered, and has a roof covered with concrete tiles. The house has four bays facing southeast, with an internal stack at the right end and an external stack at the left end. There is a parallel, narrower service range at the rear, which includes a 19th-century lean-to extension. The building is one storey high with attics.

On the ground floor, there are two early 20th-century sash windows. The first floor features two early 19th-century sash windows with 16 lights, some of which contain handmade glass. The central entrance has a 20th-century half-glazed door. Inside, there is a central staircase and a chamfered transverse beam with lamb's tongue stops of an unusual elongated design in the left ground-floor room, along with a boxed transverse beam in the other ground-floor room.

Historically, this house was the residence of a miller and was associated with a post mill that stood immediately to the southwest from 1811. It was combined with a farm holding of nine acres from 1851. The mill had a single-storey brick roundhouse, a tailpole, and two pairs of French stones. Steam power was introduced in 1886, but the wind operation continued until around 1914. The mill was demolished around 1920.
