Description
Rashleigh Mill Cottage, including the outbuilding to the southeast, is a farmhouse and former mill house that likely dates from the 18th century. It is constructed of plastered cob on rubble footings, with stone rubble or cob stacks topped with 19th-century brick, and features a thatched roof.
The building is a long, low gable-ended range facing southwest along the road. The house, located at the northwestern end, has a two-room layout with a central staircase. The left room includes a large projecting rear lateral stack, while the right room has an axial stack positioned between it and the adjoining outbuildings. There are outshots at the rear, some of which may be original, including a late 19th to early 20th-century stack on the outshot behind the right room. The adjoining outbuildings on the southeastern side consist of three byres or stores with haylofts above, and they are two storeys tall.
The house features irregular fenestration with four windows on the ground floor and two on the first floor, all of which are late 19th and 20th-century casements with glazing bars. The thatch eaves rise over the first-floor window at the right end. There is a roughly central 19th-century part-glazed six-panel door, which has a 20th-century monopitch hood covered with corrugated iron. The left gable end has a first-floor casement with glazing bars. The thatch eaves slope down from the house to the adjoining outbuildings. The left byre or store is blind at the front, the central one has only a front door, and the right one features a front ventilator and a ground-floor double doorway with a loading hatch leading to the hayloft above.
Inside the house, most of the features reflect late 19th and 20th-century modernizations. The right room has an exposed, roughly finished crossbeam that is likely from the 18th century. The carpentry in the left room is plastered over, and both fireplaces are blocked. The roof has not been inspected.
