Description
Pencarrow Millhouse is a millhouse built around the early 19th century. It is constructed of stone rubble and has a cement-washed scantle slate roof with gable ends and brick stacks at either end. The building has a double depth plan featuring a central entrance with a passage flanked by two main rooms that are heated by end stacks. There is an integral outshot at the rear that contains a staircase leading to the back of the passage, with a kitchen located to the rear left and a dairy to the rear right.
The exterior is two storeys high and features a symmetrical front with three windows. The windows have brick segmental arches and early 19th-century hornless sash designs. On the ground floor, there are two 16-pane sashes beside a central 19th-century panelled door, while the first floor has three 12-pane sashes. Inside, the millhouse retains much of its original early 19th-century joinery and fittings, including a dog-leg staircase.
