Description
Old Mill Farmhouse is a Grade II listed farmhouse, likely built in the 18th century. It features painted rubble and cob construction, topped with a wheat reed thatched roof that has gable end stacks and brick chimneys, including a large external stack on the left side. The farmhouse has a two-room plan, with a later 18th-century lean-to on the right end and a 20th-century extension at the rear. The left-hand room is wider and deeper, possibly designed for the original staircase, and both original rooms contain large fireplaces.
The exterior is two storeys high and has a nearly symmetrical three-window south front, with a doorway and a window slightly to the right of the middle. Wooden lintels are present above the openings, and there is a single-storey lean-to at the right-hand end, featuring a 20th-century door and windows. Inside, the layout has been remodelled in the 20th century but retains original beams in the right-hand room, 19th-century beams in the left-hand room, and original stone fireplaces. The first floor and roof structure have not been inspected.
