Description
The Fish House is a mill and millhouse located on Standlake Road in Cokethorpe, dated 1723 but with earlier origins, and the millhouse dates from around 1830. The mill is constructed of coursed squared limestone and features a three-storey tower in the Tudor-Gothick style. The front has 20th-century Gothick-style windows, with label moulds over early 18th-century two-light hollow-chamfered round-headed windows on each side and a one-light window to the left. There is a coat of arms with a helm on the left side wall, gargoyles at each corner, and a crenellated parapet made of stone slates with crocketed pinnacles at the corners and sides. The mill has round arches leading to the stream and an oak undershot mill wheel. The millhouse to the left is also made of coursed squared limestone, featuring a gabled stone slate roof and a brick end stack. It has a 20th-century door set in a chamfered Caernarvon-arched doorway, with label moulds over two- and three-light mullioned windows set in gabled half dormers above. There is a similar 20th-century light to the right of the door, along with a 20th-century extension to the rear. The interior has plain beams.
