Description
Mill Farmhouse is a former farmhouse dating from the late 16th century. It is two storeys tall and features a two-cell end-chimney plan. The building is timber-framed and roughcast, with much of the ground storey walling rebuilt in plastered masonry. The roof is covered with double-Roman pantiles, which have been adapted to a gambrel form, likely in the 19th century; it was originally thatched.
On the left side, there is a 16th-century external gable chimney made of red brick, which has vestigial crowstepping, and the upper shaft was rebuilt in the 19th century. There is also an axial late 18th-century chimney of red brick. The windows are mid-20th century steel small-pane casements. The entrance features two 19th-century panelled doors positioned side-by-side, leading to a 20th-century porch with a plain tiled lean-to roof and glazed sides.
Inside, the hall has unchamfered floor joists laid flat. There is evidence of studwork with a diamond-mullioned window. The roof structure includes windbraced clasped purlins, and the rafters have been cut above the purlins and realigned at a lower pitch, possibly around 1800. Notably, a windmill once stood near the rear of the house.
