Hamels Mead (Along Track 260 Metres from A10)

Hamels Mead is a miller's house built in the 18th century, with extensions added in the 19th and 20th centuries. The building features plum brick that is mostly plastered, with panelled pargetting and exposed timber framing in picturesque small extensions on the north and west sides. It has old red tile roofs, along with a slated lean-to in the northwest angle. There is a large early 20th-century plastered and tiled range connected to the northeast, which is not of special interest but likely located on the site of a former water mill. The original 18th-century house is two storeys high, oriented north to south, and includes a jettied gabled extension in the middle of the west side and a similar one at the north end. The building has a picturesque Gothick appearance, characterized by cusped bargeboards on the extensions and the use of 2-light cast iron casement windows with lozenge panes. There is also a similar oriel window with a tiled hood on the upper floor of the west gable, and transomed and mullioned cast iron casement windows on the south gable of the 18th-century section.
