Description
The Mill House, formerly known as The Old Mill, is a detached house that was originally the miller's residence, dating from the mid-17th century. It features rubble-stone walls with stone quoins and a thatch roof with stone gable copings. There are brick and rendered stacks at both the left and right gables. The house has two storeys and four windows, all of which are three-light stone mullions with ovolos, primarily fitted with 19th-century iron casements. Each window has separate labels above it. The front door, located to the right of center, is a 20th-century plank-and-muntin design with dressed stone jambs. A porch supported by two heavy wooden posts features a hipped thatch canopy.
