The Old Millhouse

The Old Millhouse is a former public house and mill house, dating to the late 16th century, with alterations made in the 18th century. The building is constructed of coursed squared and dressed limestone, with close-studded timber framing and painted stone infill, painted 18th-century brick, and a concrete tile roof. Early and 20th-century brick stacks are present. The main body is rectangular with extensions to each gable end, and a flat-roofed extension to the rear which is not of particular interest.

The entrance front has a wide, possibly 14th-century, four-centred arched opening that is now blocked. To the right of this is a 20th-century three-light casement window. A 20th-century plank door is situated next, alongside a three-light casement window with a timber lintel, and a partially blocked window now containing a two-light casement. The first floor is of painted brick, possibly formerly timber-framed, and has two two-light and one four-light 19th-century wooden casement windows with horizontal glazing bars. Close-studded timber framing is visible at the left gable end, while the right gable end is rendered with a two-light oriel window. The rear has a single-light window with a dressed stone surround, now blocked with 18th-century brick. A straight joint indicates a possible former doorway, now blocked with a window inserted into the blocking, in line with the blocked arch on the roadside front. A former stable on the right is now a garage. The gable end of the single-storey extension has square-panelled timber framing with early brick infill. An 18th-century projecting gable end stack is incorporated into the stable, alongside a 20th-century off-the-ridge stack.

Inside, the building features narrow intersecting beams with deep, flat chamfers, an open fireplace with a bressumer, and an inglenook fireplace with an early wooden seat. A crane and niche are also present, along with a 20th-century staircase. On the first floor, beams have triangular stops, and an early door retains a large wooden lock with incised decoration. The building was formerly known as the Harrow alehouse.
