Description

Old Mill House is a house that was formerly part of a paper mill, with origins dating from the late 17th century or early 18th century. It has been extended and altered in the 19th and 20th centuries. The building features a timber frame that is rendered, with a sham timber frame applied. It has slate roofs and consists of four bays across two storeys. The entrance on the ground floor is topped with a 20th-century hood, and there are 20th-century two-light casements. The eaves are modillioned and boxed.

To the left, there is a 19th-century range that was the former wheelhouse, which has the River Chess running beneath it. This section projects forward and has a coped parapet with a gable and kneelers. There is a cross axial ridge stack located to the right of the center, along with end stacks, one of which is extruded on the right return. The entrance on the right return also has a 20th-century hood. At the rear, there are three gables, with a central projecting oriel and a ground floor projecting bay to the right.

Inside, the timber frame is exposed. The building was originally part of a corn mill that was converted to paper production by J. Shipton around 1750. It was owned by H. Ingram of the 'Illustrated London News' from 1846 to 1858 and was closed in 1885.
