Goldhill Mill

Goldhill Mill is an early 19th-century mill with parts dating back to the 18th century, located in Golden Green. The property comprises a mill and a miller's house.

The house is constructed of Flemish bond red brick with some burnt headers, brick stacks and chimneyshafts, and a peg-tile roof. The mill is timber-framed, with a ground floor built of English bond brick, the exposed frame above being brick-nogged, also with a peg-tile roof. The mill house faces south overlooking its garden, with a double-depth plan featuring front and back rooms on either side of a central passage containing a front staircase. The front rooms have end stacks, while the rear left (west) room, originally the kitchen, has a rear stack backing onto the mill.

The house is two storeys high with attics. The symmetrical, three-window front has a central doorway with a 19th-century 9-panel door, a fanlight with radial glazing bars, and panelled reveals. The outer bays contain 16-pane sash windows, and there is a 12-pane sash at first-floor centre. A hipped roof incorporates a single, flat-roofed dormer window. The east side of the house has casements with rectangular panes of leaded glass, while the left side has similar windows, although the front rooms have 12-pane sashes. The mill faces west onto a courtyard. A doorway in the left-hand side of the mill contains an early 19th-century part-glazed 5-panel door with a flat hood on raking struts. The mill windows are 20th-century casements with glazing bars. Old photographs indicate that the mill was formerly weatherboarded at first-floor level, with loading hatch doorways at each end and sash windows between. The mill roof is half-hipped.

The interior of the mill house retains 19th-century joinery detail, including a stick baluster staircase. The mill itself features 18th-century carpentry, including chamfered beams with roll stops, tie-beam trusses with staggered butt purlins, and a 19th-century wheel house containing a breast-shot wheel dated 1848, along with some contemporary gearing mechanism.
