Description

Abbey Mill House, built around 1830, is a two-storey building with a six-window stuccoed facade and a low-pitched slate roof that is hidden behind a heavy, moulded cornice and a blocking course with a frieze beneath. To the left, there is a two-storey, half-octagonal bay featuring a window on each front face, topped by a half-octagonal hipped slate roof with a shallow gable end behind. A band runs over the first-floor windows in the main block and at the first-floor level in the bay. The main block has sash windows with glazing bars set in moulded architraves, while the bay has plain sashes in plain reveals. There are two doors: one on the extreme right with a console bracketed cornice hood, and another in the third bay from the left that has a prostyle wooden porch with square columns and an entablature, which has been filled in at a later date. The building also features a stuccoed plinth. Abbey Mill House, along with the Western and Eastern blocks of Abbey Mills, forms a group.
