Description
Gomshall Mill and Vera Lloyds Antiques is a building that combines a house and barn, which was converted into a mill in the 19th century and is now used as a restaurant and shop. The original core of the structure dates back to the 17th century, with extensions added to the ends in the early 19th century. The front features a timber frame with painted weatherboard cladding, while the ends are made of sandstone rubble and brick, and the rear is whitewashed. The roofs are plain tiled and extend down in a pentice over the mill race bridge.
The cottage and shop on the left end are two storeys high, featuring a plat band above the ground floor and an end stack on the left. There are two three-light casement windows on the first floor and two ground floor casements with cambered heads. A central ribbed door provides access.
The centre section is one storey with an attic, featuring two gabled casement dormers, with the right one positioned over the mill race and lower than the left. There are two windows on the ground floor. A gabled single-storey wing projects to the left of centre, with a door on the left side. To the front right, there is a gabled range that is one storey and has an attic, which includes one attic casement window and two ground floor windows, along with a stable-style door in a porch at the right end. There are also 20th-century extensions set back to the right, constructed in matching brick and painted weatherboard.
Gomshall Mill is particularly notable for its long and low profile, as well as for having two waterwheels. The current machinery was supplied in 1839 when the mill was converted from an undershot type to an overshot type.
