Upton Mill And Attached House

Upton Mill and the attached house is a former mill building with an adjoining house. The house dates from the late 16th century, with a 17th-century addition, while the mill was built around 1800. The house is timber framed, and the mill is constructed of brick, featuring brick chimneys and a Welsh slate roof.

The mill is two storeys high with an attic, and the house forms a cross-wing at the east end. On the north front, the projecting gable of the house is to the left, showcasing small framing above a close-studded ground floor on a rendered plinth. There is single casement fenestration in the gable end, and an upper floor oriel window with mullions and a transom, topped with a slate hood. A brick outshut extends from the ridge to the left, featuring a 20th-century casement. The west side of the house wing has a 12-pane sash window in square framing.

To the right is the mill building, made of painted brick and consisting of two sections. The left part has a cut-down eaves-mounted brick chimney and features a 20th-century door with flanking casements and a casement above with a segmental arched head. The right section of the mill includes a stable door and scattered casements in segmental arched openings, along with a 20th-century flat-roofed dormer.

On the west end, the mill is brick with a 20th-century casement in a segmental arched opening, and it retains the remains of a timber mill wheel and a stone-built wheel house. The south side of the mill has scattered fenestration, a single-storey brick outshut, and a brick eaves-mounted chimney to the left of the house gable, made of random rubble limestone. The gable features single-window fenestration with timber lintels and 20th-century glazed doors on the ground floor.

The east side of the house reveals a deep stone gable wall to the left of the 17th-century small framing, with a single canted oriel on both the ground and upper floors. There is a rebuilt brick chimney at the junction with the late 16th-century part of the house to the north, and 20th-century casements in the side of the brick outshut to the right.

Inside the late 16th-century part of the house, there is a moulded stone fireplace with lozenge-decorated moulding-stops and much internal framing. The interior of the mill is not accessible for inspection. The building was formerly a corn mill, and there is a timber-framed barn to the north.
