Description
Mill Farmhouse is a farmhouse dating from the early 15th century and early 17th century. It is timber framed with roughcast wattle and daub and has a thatched roof. The house consists of two parts, with the left section being the earlier build, featuring two storeys and an attic, while the later extension does not have dormers. There is a door at the junction of the two sections. To the right, there are three late 18th century casement windows, one on the left, and an additional three-light timber ovolo mullioned window. The first floor has one four-light timber mullioned window from the 15th century with chamfers, along with scattered early 19th century or 20th century casements. The gabled roof includes two eyebrow dormers with 20th century casements. The late 18th century extension to the left has a pantiled gabled roof. A ridge stack was inserted when the interior of the open hall was floored and the 17th century extension was added. The rear of the building has scattered fenestration and features one two-light 17th century timber ovolo moulded mullion window on the left side of the first floor.
Inside, there are remains of a screen to the right of the entrance door, while to the left, the hall is now floored with a chamfered bridging beam and joists. There is a 17th century open fireplace with a bressummer. A principal wall stud indicates that the south end of the original building was jettied. There is a winder staircase by the stack, similar to that in the original service range. The first floor has close studding of heavy scantling and a heavy wall plate. Arched bracing is present at the corners of the south room. The roof of the 15th century range features tie beams on large arched braces, with some stone now removed. One king post survives, which is octagonal with a moulded base and a castellated collar, along with astragal mouldings. The roof also includes diagonal wind bracing and through purlins.
