Description
West North Mill is a mill house dating from the early 18th century, with a front wing added around 1840. It is constructed from stone rubble and cob, and painted and rendered, with a steeply pitched slate roof featuring gable ends. A hipped projection forms the front wing on the left, and a gabled stair projection extends from the rear. Another projection is found on the right-hand side of the rear elevation. A brick chimney stack is situated at the right-hand gable end and at the junction with the front projecting wing on the left.
The original plan likely consisted of two rooms and a through passage, with a staircase within the shallow projecting wing leading from the rear room. A further room was incorporated into the front projecting wing. The front facade is regular with three windows. The entrance features a 20th-century timber door beneath a slate hood at an angle with the projecting wing. To the right is a 19th-century two-light casement with a 12-pane fixed casement and a 2-light casement above. The front projecting wing contains 16-pane sashes without horns, set within segmental brick arches on both the ground and first floors. A 20th-century extension is set back from the right-hand gable end.
The interior has not been inspected. The mill house served a corn mill, which had a mill race, and is shown on the Tithe Apportionment map of 1841. It was illustrated in Cornish Life in 1977.
