Description
Mill Farmhouse and attached millbuilding date from the early 18th century, although the rear block has earlier origins, likely from the early 17th century and remodelled in the late 19th century. The farmhouse is constructed of coursed limestone rubble with a gabled stone slate roof and a brick stack on the left end. It has a two-unit plan and two storeys, with a two-window front. The windows are C20 casements, and a C20 timber porch covers the C20 front door. There are timber lintels above the door and windows, and flat stone arches over a blocked doorway and a C20 window. A late 19th-century service range is attached to the right.
Inside the farmhouse, there are lightly chamfered beams and joists, and a butt-purlin roof. A ground-floor room at the rear has an early 17th-century deeply-chamfered and roll-stopped beam.
Attached to the left is a long mill building, remodelled in the early 19th century. It is built of coursed limestone rubble with a gabled concrete tile roof and has three storeys. A timber lintel sits above a through-entry for loading on the right. A cutwater with a corrugated iron roof divides a large, now blocked, mill-wheel opening on the left from a smaller, similar opening on the right. The mill’s interior has plain beams and a collar-truss roof with butt purlins. The site is an ancient one, recorded in the Domesday Book of 1086.
