Description
Rawridge Mill is a mid-19th century mill and mill house, converted to residential use around 1980. It is located in the scattered hamlet of Rawridge, and is one of a group of listed buildings in the area. The building is constructed of local stone and flint rubble, with stone rubble stacks featuring 19th century brick chimneyshafts, and a slate roof.
The mill and house were originally built side-by-side, facing south at the foot of a hillslope. The house, to the east, has a three-room plan. The rightmost room is the parlour, the central room the dining room, with an axial stack between them serving back-to-back fireplaces. An entrance hall and staircase are located between the dining room and kitchen, which occupies the leftmost room and features a gable-end stack backing onto the mill. The mill itself is set back slightly from the house and is taller, with two storeys and lofts, and a single-storey outshot on the west end.
The house has a regular, though not symmetrical, four-window front with 20th century replacement casement windows containing glazing bars. The ground floor windows have flat arches above, the right one of brick and the others of stone. The front doorway is slightly left of centre and features an original six-panel door behind a contemporary gabled porch with cusped bargeboards pierced with quatrefoils. The mill has two ground floor doorways, one on either side of a central window. A central window is located at first floor level and a loading doorway sits above the left doorway. Above the loading doorway is a gabled hoist housing supported on raking struts. Doorways and windows are topped with low segmental arches. The windows are 20th century casements mirroring those in the house and the doors are a mix of 19th and 20th century plain plank doors. Two further 20th century casements are located on the outshot's gable. All gables are slate-covered.
The interior retains a significant amount of original carpentry and joinery detail, and the mill contains original 19th century gearing machinery.
