Churston Mill House

Churston Mill House is a mill and mill house located on Brixham Road in Churston Ferrers. It is likely from the early 19th century, with extensions added in the mid-19th century. The building is constructed from coursed stone rubble and features slated roofs; the mill house has a hipped roof on the right side, while the mill has hipped roofs at both ends. A late 20th-century red-brick chimney is situated on the left end wall of the house, and there is a stone rubble chimney on the rear wall topped with a rendered shaft.

The mill house has a two-room plan with a central stair hall, and there is an additional room at the right-hand end that is built slightly differently. Behind this room, and slightly overlapping the main house, is the roughly square mill building. The house is two stories high and has a three-window front, with a slightly recessed two-window section to the right. All openings feature flat arches with well-cut stone voussoirs. The front door of the house is centrally located and has a hoodmould made of a square slab of stone supported by two plain stone corbels; the door itself is an old design with six flush panels. The windows throughout the house have late 20th-century small-paned wood casements.

The mill building is three stories tall, with a door on the left side wall and another door on the right side wall at the second-story level. The rear wall has one window opening on both the second and third stories, as well as a small ground-story opening for the shaft of the former water-wheel. The openings in the mill also have arches with voussoirs similar to those found in the house.

Inside the house, although it has been altered, there are still 19th-century panelled doors and cupboards. The wooden dogleg stair features thin square balusters and column-newels. The mill retains its machinery on the ground and second stories, including gear-wheels with wooden cogs and two pairs of grindstones still in position.
