Deddington Mill

DEDDINGTON MILL is a water mill and mill house, rebuilt circa 1830, with elements of an earlier mill incorporated into the rear. It was converted into a single house around 1926. The building is constructed of red brick in Flemish bond, with slate hipped and gable-ended roofs and brick axial and lateral stacks.

The plan demonstrates a circa 1830s rebuilding of an earlier mill, with stone remains incorporated at the rear. The mill house is positioned on the left (southeast) and the mill on the right (northwest), later combined into a single dwelling around 1926.

The northeast front features a three-storey, one-window house on the left and a two-storey, four-bay former mill on the right. The house has a two-storey canted bay window with 16-pane and 8-pane sashes, and a balcony above with simple wrought-iron balustrades and a French casement with glazing bars. A doorway to the right has a moulded six-panel door, a rectangular overlight with glazing bars. The former mill displays 20th-century French windows and casements, smaller casements, a ground-level glazed door on the right, and three 20th-century dormers with sash windows and segmental roofs. The right-hand (northwest) gable end has a 20th-century garage door on the left and an outshut on the right.

The rear (southwest) elevation presents a three-storey house on the right, with 16-pane sashes and a 20th-century French window on the ground floor. The former mill section on the left has a catslide roof over a single-story outshut and a two-story range on the right with various casement windows.

The mill house retains much of its original early 19th-century joinery, including panelled doors, moulded door frames, wooden chimneypieces, iron grates, a dog-leg staircase with stick balusters, a moulded handrail ramped up to slender column newels, and simple moulded ceiling cornices. The former mill contains a re-used stone bolection-moulded chimneypiece. The mill machinery has been removed, except for the axle of the waterwheel, which remains beneath the building.
