Little Mill

Little Mill is a former mill that has been converted into two houses, dating from the mid to late 18th century. It is constructed of coursed rubble limestone with ashlar chimneys and a Welsh slate roof. The building has a three-storey L-plan layout. On the west side, the ground has been built up at the rear, resulting in a two-storey elevation. The main range features five windows, all of which are three-light chamfered mullioned casements, except for one two-light window on the right. There is a central doorway with a timber lintel and a 20th-century glazed door. The north side of the projecting wing has scattered mullioned windows, some of which have been altered in the 20th century. The gable end of the wing includes a 20th-century garage doorway, along with segmental arched and Venetian windows on the middle and upper floors, respectively, and a ball finial at the gable. On the east side, there is a six-window arrangement on the three-storey elevation, all featuring three-light chamfered mullioned casements. Each end of the main mill range has a gable-mounted chimney with a plain cap. The interior has not been inspected but has been altered for domestic use. This building is a typical example of a Stroud valley mill, originally built for the preparation and finishing of woollen cloth. To the west of the building, the original mill pond, fed by numerous springs, still exists.
