Description
Plaistow Mill House is an early 19th-century house with earlier elements, featuring two short projecting wings at the rear. The building is constructed from rendered stone rubble and has a slate roof. It is two storeys high and has three bays, with an F-shaped plan and a symmetrical facade. The original timber sashes, which have glazing bars with eight panes per sash, flank a central doorway that is topped by a plain 20th-century porch. Above the doorway, there are three similar sashes. Each gable end has a small pane gothick window, one with two lights and the other with three lights. To the left, there is a long low two-storey extension that has been irregularly remodelled but retains some two-pane casements; this extension was formerly a byre with accommodation for millworkers above.
