Old Mill Cottage

Old Mill Cottage is a cottage that was originally a mill house, dating from the late 16th century to the 17th century. It is timber framed, rendered, and has a thatched roof with a three-cell lobby entrance plan. The building has one and a half storeys and features three 20th-century timber casements, along with a pair of similar windows that form an eyebrow dormer. There is a boarded door and an axial brick stack.

Inside, a partition wall between the central and right-hand cells has largely been removed, leaving the cill and studs along with evidence of a doorway. The ceiling in the right-hand cell has plain laid flat joists. The central bay has a bridging beam with lambs tongue stops, and there is a 17th-century stack with a chamfered bressummer on the right-hand opening, while the left-hand opening, which leads to the parlour, features a basket head or elliptical arch and is from the later 17th century. The bridging beam here also has lambs tongue stops and square joists. The staircase against the stack has an octagonal newel post. The roof is a clasped purlin type with cranked wind braces and some replaced rafters. The cottage was formerly part of the Eton College Estate, as indicated on an estate map from 1595.
