The Millhouse

The Millhouse, dating to 1795, was built on an earlier site and is constructed of colourwashed brick with black glazed pantiles. It is a three-bay, three-storey building with a two- and one-storey range attached to the right. The main facade faces the river. The three-storey section to the left is in Flemish bond, featuring cross windows with segmental heads on the ground and first floors. The second floor has double casements with segmental heads. A central doorway has a wooden surround with a pediment and pulvinated frieze, and a partly glazed door. The range to the right is colourwashed and shows evidence of several phases of construction. The left bay of the two-storey range is partly in English bond and header bond, with several blocked openings. A later bay to the left is in Flemish bond with a flush sash window with glazing bars on the first floor. The single-storey section to the right has a flush sash window with glazing bars. The left return of the three-storey block has one bay with openings to each floor, mirroring the main facade. The rear of the building is red brick with pantiles and contains various additions. A sash window with glazing bars is located on the first floor of the central bay. A two-storey forward wing extends from the rear of bay 3, with a hipped roof and recessed sashes with glazing bars. The ground-floor window has a gauged flat arch and louvred shutters with fretwork. The left return of this wing has French windows on the ground floor, with an arch and shutters matching the front. A sash window with glazing bars is located on the first floor. A glazed lean-to conservatory is also present. The rear of the two-storey range is primarily in Flemish bond with a bowed tripartite sash window with glazing bars on the ground floor to the left and a doorway to the right, leading into the conservatory. A flush sash window with glazing bars is on the first floor to the left, and a double casement with glazing bars is on the right. Inside, a wall constructed of English bond brickwork dating to the 17th century is located between the first and second bays of the two-storey range.
