Description
Mill Farm House is a house that was formerly a farmhouse, dating from the early 17th century and remodeled in the 18th century. It has a 19th-century rear wing and has undergone later alterations. The building features a timber frame that has been rewalled externally, with a brick ground floor and tile hung first floor. It has a hipped plain tile roof and a red brick ridge stack with double linked shafts and a corbelled cornice. The layout is in an L shape, consisting of a three-unit range with a baffle entry between the left and central units, and a 19th-century wing behind the right-hand unit, along with a rear outshut. The house is two storeys tall with part of the attic visible.
The ground floor walls at either end of the range display a chequer pattern of red stretchers and dark headers, while the front ground floor wall has been rebuilt in red brick with some random dark headers. The front elevation features three wood casements on each floor, with four, three, and two lights on the ground floor having leaded rectangular panes in renewed frames, alternating with two doorways. The first floor has two, three, and four lights with leaded diamond panes. There is a boarded door in a heavy door frame leading to the lobby on the left, and a door with small upper lights on the right.
Inside, the ground floor reveals some exposed storey posts, stop-chamfered bridging beams, and a pair of backing inglenook fireplaces with chamfered brassomers in the stack. The fireplace in the left-hand unit is lined with dressed stone. On the first floor, there are exposed jowelled posts and principal beams, along with a queen post roof in the attic that has collars cut out in part. The square panel framing of the 17th-century rear wall is visible within the outshut.
