Description
Mill House is a 17th-century sawmill that has been converted into a dwelling. It features squared rubble construction and a stone slate roof, with an L-plan layout. The building has a gable stack on the return wing to the right and an off-centre stack in the main wing, which was likely originally external. There are two later extensions.
The entrance elevation is two storeys high and has a symmetrical arrangement of windows, with 2+2+2 cross-mullioned casements. The two nearest the internal angle on the first floor have leaded glazing, while two ground floor windows on the far left have flat segmental heads. A modern plank door is located in a simple frame immediately to the left of the stack. The return wing has a flatter roof pitch and is also two storeys, featuring three windows on the first floor and a mix of three-light and two-light casements on the ground floor, along with a deep-set modern door off-centre to the left. The main gable facing south has two modern casements, and there are various new casements on the west front.
Inside, there is a newel stair by the fireplace, and a fine cast and wrought iron plus wood wheel, approximately 4 meters in diameter, remains in situ to the right of the return gable.
Originally known as Dauncey's Mill, it was established in 1689 for Timothy Gyde and functioned as a fulling mill before becoming a sawmill. Despite significant internal modifications, the building is of special interest for both its architectural features and its historical significance.
