Description

Mill House is an 18th-century house located on the south-east side of Great Oakley High Street. It features a timber frame with a plastered exterior and a roof made of handmade red clay tiles. The house has three bays facing northwest, with a central stack that creates a lobby entrance. At the rear, there is a full-length original out-shut roofed with red clay pantiles, along with a small 20th-century extension behind it.

To the right, there is a 19th-century single-storey extension with a front wall of plastered brick, while the other walls are made of concrete, also roofed with red clay pantiles. On the left, there is an early 19th-century single-storey lean-to extension featuring an internal stack at the rear and a roof of machine-made red clay tiles. The house is two storeys high and has a three-window range of 18th-century sashes with 12 lights, made of crown glass.

The central entrance is a six-panel door, with the top two panels glazed and the others flush. In the left extension, there is an early 19th-century six-panel door with glazed top panels, fielded middle panels, and flush bottom panels. The house has a moulded plinth, a moulded eaves cornice, and a stepped parapet at the front of the left extension.

The left return features two early 19th-century sashes with 12 lights on the ground floor of the extension and one on the first floor of the main house, all with crown glass. Inside, there are two wood-burning hearths that have been reduced for 20th-century grates, as well as an early 19th-century cast iron ducknest grate in the left extension. The rear out-shut has chamfered beams with lamb's tongue stops. The main frame is made of hardwood, jointed and pegged, and is exposed in the right ground floor room and on the first floor. There is also an early 19th-century half-glazed internal door leading to the left extension. The name "Mill House" refers to a windmill that once stood 100 meters to the northeast.
