Description
Mill Farmhouse is a farmhouse dating from the 17th century, with alterations and extensions made in the late 18th to early 19th centuries, along with a later 19th-century extension. The main structure features square-panelled timber framing, some of which includes curved decorative bracing, with painted brick infill. The later extensions are made of painted brick, and the roof is covered with slate and red tiles, supported by brick stacks. The building has an 'L'-shaped plan, with extensions at the rear left and right gable end, and a 19th-century extension on the forward-facing gable end.
The roadside front displays the gable of the 17th-century range, which projects forward on the left and features 16-pane early 19th-century sash windows on both the first and ground floors. A pendant hangs from the apex of the gable, and there is a later lean-to to the right. The twin gables of the 17th-century range are set back on the right, with one gable now partly rebuilt and painted to imitate timber framing. A 19th-century plank door is located at the right-hand gable. Both gables are lit by 20th-century two and three-light wooden casements.
The gable of the 19th-century dairy projects forward on the right side and is 1½ storeys high, featuring a 2-light casement within a segmental surround on the first floor and an open-sided lean-to to the left. The left-hand return of the 17th-century range now serves as the entrance front, showcasing a central timber-framed gable that is partly rebuilt and painted to imitate timber framing. To the left of this gable is a 1½ storey late 18th-century painted brick extension with two 16-pane sashes on the ground floor. The entrance includes a six-panel door (with two upper panels now glazed) topped by a semi-circular fanlight and an open triangular pediment on fluted pilasters, set back with a panelled rebate to the timber-framed gable.
The late 18th to early 19th-century extensions feature a brick dentil cornice. Inside, there is a large stone Tudor-arched fireplace (now painted) with moulded stops and a moulded cornice. The flat-chamfered beams have double diamond stops. A late 18th to early 19th-century staircase showcases stick balusters and a wreathed handrail. Additionally, there is an 18th-century fireplace with a fluted surround in a room that includes a ceiling-height corner cupboard from the same period.
