The Mill House

The Mill House is a mill owner's house built around 1838-39, located on the north-west side of Lemsford Village, backing onto the south end of the Mill. It was extended to the sides and rear around 1850-60 in a manner that is sympathetic to the original design. The house is constructed of yellow stock brick and is two stories high with a three-bay entrance front that faces the road, topped with a hipped slate roof and featuring a central dormer. The outer windows are tripartite, with a single sash window above the doorway, and all windows have shallow revealed glazing bar sashes. The arches above the windows are slightly cambered and made of gauged brick. The entrance features a six-reeded-panel door with a lobe pattern fan above it. To the left, a shallow gabled wing from the 1850-60 period projects forward and has similar tripartite windows. The side of the house also has glazing bar sashes, and there are tripartite windows at the rear. The Mill House has important group value with the mill complex.
