Description

The Mill House is a building that dates back to around 1800 and consists of a mill and a house arranged at right angles to each other. The house features coursed rubble-stone walls, slate roofs, and a tiled ridge, with brick stacks located at the right-hand gable and on the ridge to the left. It is two storeys high and has two to three windows, which are three-light wooden casements with glazing bars and large stone voussoirs above. The front door is centrally located and has six fielded panels, along with a 20th-century porch.

The mill has dressed stone walls and stands five storeys tall, comprising approximately two bays. Its gable end faces the lane and includes a plank door with wooden lintels. The interior has a stone floor, but no machinery remains.

Local climate

The Mill House receives an average of 800 mm of rain a year. This makes it drier than 54% of listed buildings in the UK. Its exposure to wind-driven rain is greater than that of 74% of listed buildings.

It experiences an average of 19 freeze-thaw cycles a year, fewer than 80% of listed buildings. Of these, 7 follow at least 1 mm of rain in the preceding 48 hours. Average temperatures at this location have risen by 0.3°C per decade since 1991.

Averages for 1991–2020; temperature trend 1991–2025. Figures describe the wider area (a grid cell of roughly 10 km), not the individual site. Contains modified Copernicus Climate Change Service information 2026.
