Sele House Including Front Railings

Sele House, originally the miller's house for Sele Mill, is now divided into flats. It dates from the late 18th century and has 19th-century alterations and extensions. The building features stuccoed brickwork beneath hipped roofs covered with Welsh slate, along with bracketed eaves cornice and stuccoed chimneystacks.

The exterior comprises two and three storeys, with a long flat-roofed late 19th-century rear extension on the west side. The first floor facing North Road has a two-storey mid-19th-century canted bay window on the left, featuring plain glazed sash windows. Below the lead flat roof, there is a plaster spandrel and a moulded cornice. To the right, there is a similar oriel window above a ground floor porch supported by Tuscan Doric columns, which have panelled responds, along with a frieze and modillion cornice above. The entrance has a flush-panelled door.

The return elevation on the east side, facing the mill site, shows irregular fenestration. The large rear north wing includes two canted oriel bays on the first floor, two squat nine-pane sash windows on the second floor, and a semicircular-headed doorway with a fanlight on the left. There is also a carved bay window on the right.

The interior has not been inspected. The property features cast-iron railings along the front, complete with a gate, spearhead and arrowhead balusters, and posts topped with urn finials.

Historically, Sele Mill, which was recorded in the Domesday Book, stood adjacent to the house on the right (north) until it was destroyed by fire in 1890. In the late 15th century, John Tate established the first paper mill in England under the patronage of Henry VII, with 'De Proprietatibus Rerum' of 1496 by Bartholomaeus Anglicus being the first book printed on English paper. Tate's watermark was a five-pointed star or daisy within a double circle.
