The Mill House And The Mill Flat

The Mill House and the Mill Flat are a mill, later converted into a house and a separate flat, dating from the 18th and 19th centuries. The building is constructed of red brick with grey brick detailing in the window arches, and a brick plinth to the left. It has an old tile roof, half-hipped on the left, with an end stack to the left and a stack projecting from the ridge off-centre to the right. A large gabled dormer window is positioned off-centre to the left, featuring a two-light leaded casement, likely previously a loft door. The overall design is an L-shaped plan.

The front of the building features six first-floor two-light metal casement windows; the third from the left has a segmental relieving arch with tiles set into the tympanum. Five ground-floor two-light metal casements are also present, with four to the left having segmental relieving arches and tiles in the tympanum. Two segmental-headed boarded doors are located at the far left and right. A segmental-headed doorway has been blocked between the second and third windows from the left. The west front has a white-painted gable end with two first-floor two-light, 20th-century leaded casements flanking a central one-light casement, and one ground-floor two-light segmental-headed leaded casement.

The right-hand block is white-painted brick with a plat band and an old tile roof, featuring a large ridge stack off-centre to the right and a rear stack behind the ridge, also off-centre to the right. A large, centrally located, timber-framed gabled eaves dormer window incorporates a two-light leaded casement, formerly a loft door. This section has two first-floor six-light leaded mullioned and transomed windows flanking two central one-light leaded casements. On the ground floor are a two-light leaded casement to the right and a three-light leaded casement to the left, flanking a central half-glazed door with a 20th-century gabled brick porch. The property is of group value. The writer Lytton Strachey resided here from 1917 to 1924.
