The Old Mill House

The Old Mill House is a house dating back to around 1700, with additional construction between 1716 and 1727, and later alterations in the late 18th century. It likely incorporates parts of the structure of a former water mill that was associated with the Abbey of St Peter and remained on the site until the 17th century. The house was formed by linking two wings in the late 18th century. It is built of brick with a gabled slate roof, and has a brick gable-end stack. The west wing, which is double-depth, is located to the left, and the north wing, set back, is to the right.

The exterior features a moulded eaves cornice. The ground floor entrance is in the south front of the north wing, adjacent to the west wing. The doorway has timber jamb linings, an architrave, and a hood supported by carved timber consoles. To the right of the doorway is a tripartite timber-framed window; to the left, a similar window with external shutters. These windows contain sashes with glazing bars arranged 3x4 panes in the centre and 1x4 panes on the sides. The upper floors of the north wing have sashes, while the upper floors of the west wing have two sashes each. All these sashes have 3x4 glazing bars and are set within openings with rubbed brick segmental-arched heads and projecting stone sills. A late 18th-century semicircular-arched sash window with 3x10 glazing bars illuminates the stairwell in the rear elevation of the north wing. The north gable-end wall of the west range has a sash on the first floor, a two-light casement on the second floor, and a two-light casement in the gable; all these casements have glazing bars.

The interior was not inspected, but the north wing contains a reputed late 18th-century staircase with stick balusters and a swept handrail. The cellar is reported to contain a well and a millstone from the former mill. Group value is derived from its historical significance.
