Description
Mill House is a farmhouse dating from the early 17th century. It has two storeys and attics, featuring a three-cell cross-entry plan. The structure is timber-framed and plastered, with a pantiled roof that was once thatched, and an axial chimney made of plastered red brick. The windows are mid-20th century three-light casements. At the cross entry, there is a pantiled gabled porch that has a boarded and battened 20th-century door. The 17th-century framing is fully exposed, and there is a good windbraced clasped purlin roof in the hall and service cells. The parlour cell was added later, possibly in the late 17th century, but it reuses much timber from the 16th century.
