Description

Mill Town is a house with adjoining outbuildings located in East Worlington. The main structure dates from the early 17th century and was remodeled, with an outbuilding added in the 19th century. The building is rendered on rubble and cob, has been colourwashed, and features an asbestos-sheeting gabled roof with a tall lateral rubble stack on the right side of the front.

The layout consists of a three-room and through-passage plan, with the lower end on the right truncated and reduced to a lean-to. The 19th-century outbuilding, of unknown purpose, is positioned at right angles to the upper end. The hall has a lateral stack and a projecting bay at the front, while the inner room to the left has been brought forward to align with the hall bay and is heated by a gable end stack with a 19th-century brick shaft.

The exterior is two storeys high and features a two-window range to the left of the lateral stack, with one window above the through-passage doorway and another in the lean-to on the right. The left side has 19th-century three-light casements with closely set glazing bars, a 19th-century two-light casement in the centre, and a 19th-century four-pane casement in the lean-to on the right end. The through-passage doorway has a plank door, and the outbuilding is of a plain style that conforms to the main building.

Inside, the central hall has three lateral deep-chamfered ceiling beams with keel stops, and one beam features a hollow step-stop on the lower side of the passage. The inner room was remodeled in the 18th century and includes a two-panelled door leading from the hall, as well as a fireplace with a rough-hewn wooden bressumer. The hall fireplace is blocked, and the higher end of the hall has a fitted bench that continues into the hall bay, next to a small cupboard. The roof has not been fully inspected but features straight principals that were likely replaced in the 19th century.
