Description
Farm Mill House is a mill house dating from the late 17th century, with extensions from the 19th century and alterations made in the mid-20th century. The structure features brick-nogged timber-framing, three panels high, and is covered with diamond-set asbestos slate. The right bay is constructed of painted English garden wall bond brick, topped with a Welsh slate roof.
The house consists of four bays and is one room deep, standing two storeys tall. On the left side, there are three timber-framed bays, which include a boarded door with a glazed panel at the left end, a 2-light casement window beneath weatherboarding, and a shallow window to the right with four diamond-set bars, a fixed head, and sill. To the right, there is another 2-light casement window and a mid-20th-century boarded door beneath a slated lean-to open porch supported by two timber posts on stone bases.
The brick end bay on the right projects forward and features a late 20th-century window under a cambered brick arch. On the first floor, there are four 2-light casement windows in the timber-framed section, with diagonal braces connecting the main posts to the wallplate. There is no opening in the brick section, and a diamond-set brick chimney is located at the right end of the timber-framed section, with a brick flatter pitch roof and a brick chimney on the right gable.
The left return has a concrete block wall, as a further bay was reported demolished in the 1930s. Inside, there is a heavy chamfer on the ground floor ceiling beam in the entrance room, and the internal walls are timber-framed. The main posts have square cut jowls, and queen strut trusses are present above. An exposed stone chimneybreast can be seen on the first floor, and the dated timber in the fireplace surround was likely imported from elsewhere. The left bay was originally part of the mill, with the demolished section, while the remainder served as the miller's house. The building forms a group with the stables nearby.
