The Old Mill House

The Old Mill House is a mill house dating back to at least the 16th century, with probable work from the 16th century in a much altered wing to the right. The main range was largely rebuilt in the late 18th century and has later 20th-century alterations and additions. The building is constructed of coursed squared limestone rubble, with a gable facing to the right; the rendering on this section obscures earlier fabric. It has a stone slate roof, hipped to the right with a catslide, and a flat felt roof to the wing on the right. There are rendered and rebuilt stone stacks to the right gable and rear, a brick stack in the valley of the double-pile main range, and a tall brick stack on a gablet to the rear.

The two-story, three-window main range was originally joined to a mill, now demolished, which projected forwards over the mill stream to create an L-shape. It features 19th-century, two- and three-light casements to the first floor, along with a late 18th-century six-pane sash and a 20th-century window on the ground floor. A late 18th-century, nine-pane half-glazed door is set within a 20th-century extension to the right. The gable facing to the right has two two-light timber casements to the first floor and two 20th-century windows to the ground floor. Rudimentary quoins are present on the left angle. The left side has an 18th-century, two-story, rendered canted bay with three six-pane sashes to the first floor and three 20th-century windows to the ground floor. The wing to the right has two former openings to the ground floor, now blocked by a 20th-century garage and lintelled with exposed timber. It has battered buttresses to the ground floor, partially rebuilt walls to the first floor, and C20 windows. The rear elevation includes two 20th-century single-story lean-to additions and associated windows.

Internally, a late 18th-century staircase is present, although without a balustrade. A late 18th-century reeded stone chimneypiece, without a grate, is in the front left ground-floor room. Late 18th-century three-panel shutters are to the windows, alongside a dado rail and a six-panel door with a moulded architrave. This room and the hall contain boxed-out beams with panelled soffits. A heavy, shallow-section chamfered beam is present on the ground floor rear right, along with a boxed-out beam in the kitchen.
