Description
Evegate Millhouse is a mill house dating from the early 18th century. It features a painted brick exterior on galletted ragstone, extended with painted brick, and has a plain tiled roof. The building has a lobby entry plan, possibly originating as a framed hall house, with a parallel rear wing. It stands two storeys high on a plinth with a plat band that returns to the right. The roof is hipped with a gablet to the right, and there are stacks at the centre and to the left end of the original structure.
On the first floor, there are three wooden casements, while the ground floor has two wooden casements and a central panelled door with a semi-circular fanlight set in a gabled porch. The left end bay is a later 18th-century addition, featuring a wooden casement and a boarded door in a hipped hoist housing on the first floor, along with a wooden casement and a half-door on the ground floor. The two-storey rear wing, also of painted brick, has a small hipped outshot that almost extends over the river, possibly serving as a privy block. The left end bay of the main range has a now-blocked arched opening at the rear, which was originally the wheel-house before the construction of the new mill in 1862 and the diversion of the river.
