Description
Rice Mill is a mid to late 17th-century millhouse that has been converted into a house. It features colourwashed render over cob and stone, with a gabled thatch roof. The building has a rendered stone ridge stack and a similar external stack on the left end, which includes a bread oven. The layout follows a three-unit lobby-entry plan and consists of two storeys with a four-window range. There is a 19th-century flat hood with carved brackets above a 19th-century plank door located to the left of the centre. The windows are 20th-century three-light casements, and there is an outshut to the right with a pantile roof.
Inside, the central room includes a chamfered beam and a chamfered bressummer above an open fireplace, along with two 19th-century cupboards featuring H-hinges. A 19th-century quarter-turn staircase with winders is located to the right.
