Venn Mill House And Attached Outbuildings

Venn Mill House and attached outbuildings is a former mill house dating from the early 17th century, with remodels in the late 18th and late 19th centuries. The building is constructed from uncoursed limestone rubble and features a gabled late 19th-century tile roof. It has a brick lateral stack on the left and a stone ridge stack finished in brick on the right. The house is designed in a T-plan with a cross wing to the left and stands two storeys high. The front has a four-window range, including a two-window gable end on the left wing. The right range includes a late 19th-century four-panelled door, two of which are glazed, next to the cross wing, with segmental brick arches above the door and 20th-century casements. The first floor has late 18th-century features.

To the right, there is a stable or cartshed made of limestone rubble, which is one storey with an attic and has a gabled stone slate roof. The front features a central covered way that was blocked in the late 18th century and has a late 18th-century two-light chamfered wood-mullioned casement. The rear entry was blocked in the 20th century. Inside the left wing, there are chamfered beams, a 17th-century chamfered oak doorway, a cupboard with butterfly hinges, and a fireplace with a chamfered stone lintel and a saltbox to the left. The first floor retains chamfered beams and 17th-century plank doors, with a remodelled floor. The one-unit range to the right has a chamfered and stopped beam and a 17th-century plank door next to a fireplace with a bread oven. The stable or cartshed has a two-bay roof with a closed post and pad truss made of elm. Additionally, there is a weatherboarded byre to the right with a hipped old tile roof.
