Description
Pollhill Mill is a house that dates back to the mid-16th century, with alterations made in the 17th, late 18th, and late 19th centuries. It is timber-framed and rendered, topped with a plain tile roof. The building has two storeys and attics, set on a brick plinth, and features a continuous jetty at the front, rear, and left end, supported by plain brackets. The right end has been altered. The roof is hipped with gablets, and there is a multiple brick stack on the rear slope, positioned off-centre to the left. An early 19th-century dormer is located on the right side.
The windows are arranged irregularly, consisting of three openings: two two-light casements and one three-light casement. There is a boarded door in the right end bay. A late 18th or early 19th-century addition is present on the left half of the front elevation, which creates a double-depth layout. This addition is also timber-framed, faced with channeled stucco, and has its own plain tile roof, with a stack on the right side and a glazing-bar sash window along with a panelled door. A late 19th-century facade has been added to the entire left side elevation, which largely obscures the jetty. This facade features channeled stucco, recessed sashes with horns, and a vermiculated keystone above the ground-floor windows. Additionally, there is a late 19th-century lean-to on the right side.
Inside, the building consists of four bays. There is a large inglenook fireplace with moulded stone jambs and a double-corbelled top on the left jamb, although the bressumer is from the 20th century. The front wall post of the main ground-floor room has a blank shield carved beneath a bracket that supports a cross-beam. The walls and partitions are reinforced with tension braces, and there are chamfered beams and gunstock jowls. The plain, flown posts have two curved braces that extend downward and two that extend upward. The attic is floored, possibly in the 17th century, and is partitioned, with 19th-century corn-bins located in one of the central bays and access provided in the right end bay. A niche from the 18th century is found by the stack in the ground-floor left end bay.
