Little Mill House (About 400 Metres West North West Of Smallbridge Hall)

Little Mill House is a house likely dating from the 16th or early 17th century, significantly remodelled in the 19th century. It is constructed of rendered timber frame with a brick plinth, and has a steeply pitched hipped pantile roof. A brick axial stack is located to the left (south east) of centre. The original plan comprised three rooms, with back-to-back fireplaces between the left and centre rooms creating a lobby entrance in front of the stack. In the 19th century, the centre room was subdivided with inserted partitions, creating a cross-passage between the centre and right-hand rooms and a small scullery or pantry at the rear. A single-storey outshut behind the left-hand room was probably added later, in the 13th or early 20th century.

The north east front is asymmetrical, with windows and a doorway disposed to the left. It features two 19th-century 16-pane sash windows with horns (probably restored in the 20th century), a circa early 20th-century plank door to the left of centre, and a similar sash on the left (south east) end. The right-hand north west end has two small 19th-century iron-frame casements with glazing bars. At the rear are two raking dormers with 13th-century 16-pane sashes, a plank door, and a 20th-century casement to the left, alongside a single-storey weather-boarded outshut to the right.

The interior's features are partially investigated, with stop-chamfered axial beams in the left and centre rooms. A late 19th-century chimneypiece and grate are in the left-hand room. The timber framing is said to be concealed, and the roof structure is likely of interest. Group value is found in its well-preserved historic character.
