Description

Mill House is a building dating from around 1790. It has two storeys and attics, and is faced with buff bricks. The roof is a mansard style covered with slate and features three dormers. The front of the house includes three sash windows with intact glazing bars, as well as two tripartite bow windows on each floor. There is a wide porch in the center, which is topped with a pediment and accessed by seven steps. The doorcase within the porch has sidelights, an elliptical fanlight, and a door made up of six moulded and fielded panels.

Local climate

Mill House sits in a drier-than-average part of the UK, with an average of 710 mm of rain a year. This makes it drier than 85% of listed buildings in the UK. Its exposure to wind-driven rain is lower than that of 85% of listed buildings.

It experiences an average of 30 freeze-thaw cycles a year, fewer than 64% of listed buildings. Of these, 14 follow at least 1 mm of rain in the preceding 48 hours. Average temperatures at this location have risen by 0.3°C per decade since 1991.

Averages for 1991–2020; temperature trend 1991–2025. Figures describe the wider area (a grid cell of roughly 10 km), not the individual site. Contains modified Copernicus Climate Change Service information 2026.
