Description
Abbey Mill House is an early 17th-century house located on Lower Street in Leeds. The building is constructed of coursed galletted stone with timber-framed dormers and a plain tile roof. It follows a lobby entry plan, with two storeys and attics. A moulded bressumer is visible to the close-studded left end gable, and a slightly off-centre brick ridge stack is positioned to the right. The house has two large, gabled close-studded dormers, each featuring a coved jetty to the gable, moulded bargeboards, a pendant, and a four-light ovolo-moulded mullion window. The fenestration is irregular, with two four-light ovolo-moulded mullion windows on each floor and a smaller two-light window under the stack on the first floor. A boarded door is situated beneath the stack. Inside, the roof is of the side purlin type. The house is integrated with the remains of an earlier mill building to the rear, of which only the stone ground-floor walls and most of the machinery survive, including a very large 19th-century water wheel.
