Mill Farmhouse

Mill Farmhouse is a farmhouse dating from the late 16th century, with alterations made in the late 18th century. It features close-studded timber framing with painted brick nogging, while the front has been rebuilt and extended in rubble stone. The roof is hipped, made of stone slate, with some tiles replacing the stone slates at the rear, and there are stone and brick stacks. The building is L-shaped, consisting of a four-bay 16th-century range and a short 18th-century wing.

The two-storey structure has a three-window front from the 18th century, with a central door that has six fielded panels set in a gabled stone porch. On either side of the door are three-light casements. The first floor features a combination of three-light and single-light casements. The right side has a single-light attic casement and a 19th-century lean-to extension attached to the rear of the 18th-century addition.

On the left side, there is a large lateral stone stack with a gable to the right of center, and a rubble stone rebuild to the right. The left side also has close-studded timber framing with a blocked door, as well as four-light and two-light casements on the ground floor, and two-light and three-light casements on the first floor. An attic dormer, which is hipped, was moved here from the left gable end in the 20th century.

To the left of the main house is a single-storey former bakehouse, likely from the 19th century, which has a 20th-century timber-framed porch with a planked door, and the gable end of the main range is tile-hung. The rear of the 16th-century range has a lean-to extension, with the first floor also tile-hung.

Inside, the farmhouse features timber-framed partitions, square-panelled and chamfered beams, and planked doors. Notably, there are decorated ceilings in the south rooms on both the ground and first floors from the 16th century, featuring diagonal lattice arranged with thin moulded wooden ribs, with each rectangle measuring about 40 centimeters long. This decorative feature predates the 18th-century addition, although its exact date is uncertain. The original roof consists of two bays plus hips, with collar and tie-beam trusses, and the central truss includes queen struts and two tiers of butt purlins, the upper tier having curved windbracing. The property was owned by the Duke of Somerset until the 1940s.
