Description
New Mills Farmhouse is a house, originally a farmhouse, with a core dating to the late 17th century, an early 19th-century addition at the right end, and a late 20th-century addition at the left end. The 17th and 19th-century parts are built of rendered whitewashed cob with a slate roof with gabled ends. A stone stack on the ridge originally served as a gable end stack on the left, and the right gable end chimney is brick. The house has a single-depth plan. The asymmetrical front has a 1+4 window range, with one window in the 20th-century addition. A 20th-century gabled porch is central, with a further entrance on the front at the right end. The windows are 20th-century casements with glazing bars. There are pigeon holes on the front. A ground floor room on the right has a large fireplace with a fireplace beam and a clom oven. A ground floor room that was originally heated by the ridge stack has a large fireplace with ogee stops on the timber lintel. The pegged collar rafter roof was formerly hipped between the 19th and earlier builds, with timbers of smaller scantling over the right end.
