Description

Cleeve Mill House is a late 18th-century building that has been modernised. It stands two and a half storeys tall, constructed of painted rubble with a hipped pantile roof sloping to the left. A well chimney is positioned on the front left side of the house. The building features three dormers and three windows, including a central angled bay on the first floor that sits on a bracketed platform. There is a door on the first floor to the left, which is accessed by dog leg steps. The ground floor has a lean-to structure across the centre, which was formerly used for a second turbine. The fenestration on the ground floor is irregular on the left side, with a large segment-headed door to the right. An additional building is attached to the right, located on the site of the original mill. At the rear, on the right side, there is a small undershot wheel and a tunnel race leading to the river. This mill is noted as the best surviving example on the River Frome in this area, where there were once eight mills between here and Wickham Weir. It is possible that part of the medieval corn mill is still present in its structure. In 1798, the mill was converted to an iron mill.
