Description
Mill House is a farmhouse, now a house, dating to the late 17th century, with possible earlier origins in the wing to the right. A mid-19th century extension was added to the front right, and the building was restored in the 1920s. The house is constructed of coursed limestone rubble with gabled stone slate roofs. It features stone ashlar ridge and right-end stacks, an early 20th century stack to the rear left, and a 17th century stone internal stack to the rear. The original layout was a three-unit plan with a cross-wing to the left, extended to the right to create a T-plan configuration. The house is two storeys high with a four-window front, incorporating gabled outer wings. The central entrance has a timber lintel over an early 19th century six-panelled door with carved brackets to a flat hood, and early 20th century three-light casements with glazing bars. There are two gabled roof dormers. The outer bays have timber lintels over similar two-light casements and a one-light window to the right. The rear of the house features a stair turret flanked by two-storey wings. On the left is a late 17th century chamfered wood attic light. An early 19th century one-storey service wing is built of similar materials with an ashlar ridge stack to the rear right. Inside, the central hall contains a late 17th century bolection-moulded fireplace, a late 17th century chamfered beam, and an early 20th century elm-wood winder staircase to the rear. On the first floor, there are chamfered beams and 18th- and 20th-century panelled doors leading to a rear gallery, a chamfered beam to the right, and a late 17th century chamfered post to an adjoining partition. The roof has collar-truss construction with butt purlins.
