Description
The property comprises an 18th and early 19th century farmhouse and attached former water mill. The farmhouse is constructed of Flemish bond cream brick with a tiled roof, while the mill is of English garden wall bond brick with a Welsh slate roof. The main farmhouse is a two-storey, two-windowed structure with sash windows. It features a 20th century four-panelled door set within a 19th century canopied porch, alongside a 20th century casement window to the left. A first-floor window has a four-pane sash in a moulded architrave. An early 19th century wing projects to the right. This wing has a 16-pane sash and an 8-pane sash to the first floor, with flat arches. The gable front of this wing has 16-pane sashes to both the ground and first floors, and a hipped roof with deep eaves. The right return side features an external stack. An earlier 18th century range has a four-pane sash and three-light recessed chamfered mullioned casements. It also exhibits a dentilated plat band and two-light and two three-light casements to the first floor, incorporating light timber framing. The mill, now partially a cowshed, is three storeys high and two windows wide, with sliding planked doors, a stable door, and a one-light casement to the right. The first and second floors have segmental-headed steel casements. The left return has a planked door to the first floor and a two-light casement to the loft. The rear elevation has two-light steel casements. Attached to the rear are single-storey farm buildings, including a late 17th century stable constructed of English garden wall bond brick with stone quoins and a corrugated iron roof. The mill was leased from the Ash-a-Courts of Heytesbury House during the early 19th century and operated as a woollen mill before ceasing operations in the late 19th century, later functioning as a corn mill. The interiors were not inspected, and it is reported that the mill does not retain any machinery.
