Description
Ta Mill Farmhouse is a farmhouse that has been divided into two holiday cottages. It dates from the early 18th century, though it likely has earlier origins. The building is constructed of stone rubble, with rag slates hung on the front elevation and rendered and partly slate-hung on the right side. It features a slate roof with gable ends, along with stone rubble end stacks and a stone rubble rear lateral stack.
The farmhouse has a double depth plan. The entrance is located to the right of the center, leading into a wide corridor flanked by fairly thick stone walls. To the front left is a larger room, likely originally the hall kitchen, while a smaller room on the front right probably served as the parlour; both rooms are heated by end stacks. There is a back kitchen to the rear left, heated by the rear lateral stack, which likely functioned as a dairy to the rear right. The thick wall between the front and rear rooms continues above to the first floor, suggesting that the house may have originally been a single depth two-room and passage plan, later extended with service rooms across the rear in the 18th century.
The exterior is two storeys high and features an almost symmetrical three-window slate-hung front with the entrance to the right of the center. The entrance includes a 19th-century four-panel door with a flat dressed stone arch and a 20th-century stone rubble open porch. The windows on either side are early 18th-century tripartite sashes with thick glazing bars. The first floor has three 18th-century 16-pane sashes, also with thick glazing bars.
Inside, the fairly thick walls flank the cross passage, and there is an early 19th-century dog-leg stair at the rear. The front parlour contains 19th-century chimney-pieces and simple 18th-century china cupboards. The roof structure has not been inspected.
