Description
Mill Cottage is a mill house and attached mill dating from around 1770. It is built of Flemish bond brick, with some flared headers, and features a 20th-century tile roof and brick stacks. The building has a two-unit plan and stands two storeys high, with a three-window range. There are segmental arches over a plank door and late 20th-century casements, along with a late 20th-century porch. The eaves are dentilled, and the roof is gabled with gable end stacks. At the rear, there is an 18th-century sash window with a shutter.
The attached mill, located to the right, has coursed limestone rubble on the ground floor and a weatherboarded first floor, topped with a hipped old tile roof. There is an outshut on the right side and a one-storey block at the front that housed the mill wheel, which is made of coursed limestone rubble and has a hipped 20th-century tile roof. The interior of the mill has not been inspected but retains its machinery. Drawings and descriptions of the machinery can be found in the Oxfordshire County Museum in Woodstock.
