Tuckenhay Mill

Tuckenhay Mill is a paper mill, dating to circa 1829, that has been converted into a house in the late 20th century. The building is constructed of slate rubble, with colourwashing on the north-east side, boarded first floor, and partial slate hanging on the south-west side. It has a hipped roof covered with scantle slate, and is grouted. The building is L-shaped, with a cellar beneath the north-west end, where the ground level is lower. A single-storey wing projects from the south-west corner.

The north-west end wall is three stories high above the cellar level, with the ground floor featuring two blocked round-headed cellar doors and two basket arch openings. There are matching blocked openings on the first floor, and four rectangular openings on the second floor, the central two of which are blocked. The north-east side has a wide, elliptically arched cellar doorway and a six-window range of 20th-century casements with glazing bars on the ground and first floors. The top (second) storey was originally open-sided with posts and wooden louvres which remain partly evident, with the first floor accommodation set back to form a loggia. The east wing has a slatted top floor and a 19th-century two-storey lean-to addition at the angle, with vertically boarded front and a slate monopitch roof. A wide vehicular entrance with a timber lintel is located on the north-east end of the wing, above which is a late 20th-century aluminium window set within vertically boarded timbering.

The north-west side is slate hung on the ground and first floors, with late 20th-century casements and a late 20th-century timber balcony. The second floor is open with timber posts and vertical slats. A low single-storey wing with a hipped slate roof and late 20th-century casements sits to the right. The interior has not been inspected. According to historical records, the paper mill began work in 1829 and produced high-quality handmade paper, representing the only surviving "vat mill" in Devon.
