Chetnole Mill, And Attached Cottages (Nos 1 And 2 Grove Cottages)

This is a former watermill, with attached cottages, dating from the mid- to late 18th century. The mill is constructed of rubble stone with a tiled roof featuring coped gables and a stone stack on the west gable. The roof slopes down as a catslide on the north side. The mill has three storeys on its south side and is single-storey on the north. A large arched opening in the north wall indicates the former watercourse. Above this opening is a stone mullioned window, with some glazing and some boarding. Double doors are located to the right of the window, beneath a stone arch with a projecting keystone. Two further stone mullioned windows are to the right of the doors. In the east gable wall are traces of a former sack hoist, and a left-hand door set within an altered window opening, with a blocked mullioned window above. Most of the original mill machinery remains inside. The attached cottages, located at the west end, appear to be contemporary with the mill but were extended in the 19th century. They have coursed rubble stone walls and slate roofs with part-coped gables. One cottage has a rendered wall while the other has a brick stack at the junction with the mill. The two-storey section adjoining the mill has a 20th-century casement window on the ground floor of its north wall, and an 18th-century sash window on the first floor, contained within a moulded stone surround with a keystone. The west return wall features an 18th-century round-headed window with bordered glazing, a projecting keystone, and impost mouldings. A 19th-century extension to the west is built of rubble stone and has a slate roof.
