Mill House

Mill House is a building with multiple phases of construction dating from the 18th and 19th centuries, associated with a nearby watermill (listed separately). The main part of the house dates to around 1737, as indicated by a date on the east gable, with a map of 1744 relating to the mill’s use. An early 19th-century addition was built to the east. The house is constructed of red brick with black glazed and smut pantiled roofs. It is two storeys high with attics, and has a seven-bay front, with an L-shaped wing extending north-east and two gabled wings projecting to the south-west. The ground floor has four-pane sashes, while the first floor has a row of seven three-pane sashes with glazing bars, all set within flat brick arches. Two late 18th-century wooden porches flank the front entrance. The porch to the east has Doric columns and pilasters, an entablature, a flat roof, a moulded door architrave, a partially glazed door with margin lights, and glazing bars. The porch to the west has a raised and fielded six-panel door. A late 19th-century addition to the north-east features a gault brick, canted plate glass sash window. The ground floor has a plinth, and the first floor a platband. Three pedimented dormer windows with lead glazing bars are visible in the roof. East-end centre ridge stacks are present, and the west gable rises to the taller pitch with an end stack. The rear elevation shows two gabled wings at the south-west with a first-floor platband and gable stacks. A late 18th-century corridor addition in the centre has two semi-circular sashes with radial glazing bar heads. An early 19th-century addition extends to the east. Inside, the western section of the 18th-century part of the house includes a fine mid-18th-century staircase featuring carved strings, three turned balusters to each tread, a Kent-style overmantel, and other panelling in an adjacent room.
