Description
The Old Millhouse is a millhouse that has been converted into a house. It dates from the late 17th century to early 18th century and was remodeled in the early 19th century. The building is constructed of coursed limestone rubble and features a gabled stone slate roof with brick end stacks. It has a two-unit plan and stands three storeys tall with a two-window range. The entrance has a timber lintel above an early 19th-century beaded four-panelled door, which is topped by a 20th-century hood. There are timber lintels over 20th-century three-light casements. A stair-turret is located at the rear. To the left, there is an early to mid-19th-century two-storey extension built with similar materials. Inside, the house features late 17th-century to early 18th-century bolection-panelled doors and open fireplaces with wood bressumers. The first floor has not been inspected.
