Description
Fairbourne Mill is a house with an early 19th-century facade that covers an earlier building, located on Fairbourne Lane in Harrietsham. To the left is a late 19th-century wing. The right range features a ground floor made of uncoursed galleted stone with red brick dressings, while the first floor is banded with plain and fishscale tiles. The roof is made of plain tiles and has two storeys plus a garret, set on a stone plinth. The roof is half-hipped to the right and connects to the addition on the left. There are rear stacks on both the right and left sides. The windows are arranged irregularly, with three in total: one off-centre to the left that is a glazing-bars sash, flanked by tripartite windows. The door, located off-centre to the left, has six fielded panels and two top lights, topped with a flat corniced hood. The left wing, dating from the late 19th century, projects slightly forward and is built of red brick in Flemish bond with a plain tile roof. It has two storeys on a brick plinth and features a hipped roof and a rear stack. The front has one sash window and one tripartite sash window, along with a panelled door that has a flat bracketed hood. The left return elevation overlooks the Mill pond. The interiors have not been inspected.
