Description
Mills Platt Farmhouse is a house dating from the late 17th century, constructed from rubble stone with a stone tiled roof, featuring coped gables and an east end stack. The building has two storeys and an attic. The south front includes two first-floor two-light windows and ground floor windows, one two-light and one three-light, all under a single hoodmould. There is a 20th-century external stack on the left side. The west end wall has an attic single light window and a ground floor two-light window, both with hoods. The east end wall is similar but features a ground floor two-light window and a 12-pane window set in a moulded arched doorway. A 20th-century Bridgwater tiled stone and roughcast north wing has been added. Inside, the ground floor has a narrow room at the west end and a main room to the east, both with chamfered and stopped spine beams. The east end features a fine moulded stone Tudor-arched fireplace with a moulded stone shelf.
