Description
Mill Farmhouse is a late 17th-century water mill and dwelling that has been converted into a farmhouse. It is constructed of brick on a stone plinth, featuring stone dressings and a thatched roof. The mill was rebuilt in the 19th century with a brick structure and a slate roof. The house has two storeys to the left of the entrance, with levels adjusted in the 18th and 19th centuries to include a cellar on the right. The layout has been altered, consisting of two rooms deep with the mill attached to the left, and there is a 20th-century bathroom extension at the rear.
The front elevation has three bays, with a central entrance sheltered by a thatched canopy. It features a stone water sill, a string course, and raised quoins. The entrance has a moulded doorcase and a boarded door. The stone moulded cross windows have some on the right partially blocked to maintain symmetry, and the central window on the first floor is also blocked. The openings have gauged brick lintels with a two-course intermittent brick string above, and below is a moulded limestone string. The roof is hipped, with the left stack rebuilt and the right stack removed.
The attached mill, set back to the left, has three storeys and two bays, built of brick on stone footings. The openings feature cambered brick arches with keystones, and there are 20th-century timber paned windows. The right elevation of the house has a continuous string and a two-light window on the first floor, with a single light below. Inside, the main fireplace has been rebuilt, and there is a small stone fireplace in the right front parlour with a rebuilt lintel. Stone steps, now inverted, lead to the upper floor. The brick barrel vaulted cellar is present, and the mill, now used as a living room and bedrooms, has an unconverted top floor containing bins, a central walkway, a sack hoist, and original roof trusses.
