Description

Old Mill House is a house with a mid 16th century core that was significantly rebuilt around 1800. It features a timber frame with plaster and a roof made of mid 20th century interlocking concrete pantiles. The building has two storeys and follows a two-cell layout. On the ground floor, there are two mid 20th century casement windows without glazing bars, and in the center, there is an 18th century three-light window with small panes. The first floor has three old two-light casement windows. The entrance is a lobby with a mid 20th century gabled brick porch and a plank door with a panelled face. There is an internal stack.

The main components of the frame are intact, although there is some replacement studding with straight primary braces. The hall, which is to the left, is now divided into two rooms and features a moulded bridging beam with run-out stops. The 16th century joists have been halved longitudinally and reused. The wall posts are chamfered with broach stops. The parlour has an axial bridging beam with slightly simpler moulding and run-out stops, with the joists concealed. There is evidence of a gable end window with large diamond mullions. A tie beam over the hall chamber, now within a studded partition wall, has peg holes for queen posts. An oak newel stair is present, and while the roof was not examined, it is almost certainly a replacement from around 1800.
