Old Mill, Estate Yard

Old Mill, Estate Yard is a former corn mill that later became a saw mill and is now used as a workshop. It dates from the 17th century or early 18th century and was altered in the 19th century. The building features coursed, squared stone, timber-framing with rendered infill, weatherboarding, and a stone slate roof. It is a four-bay mill that stands 2 and a half storeys high and is one room deep. There is a 2-bay wing that partly extends across the front on the right and a 3-bay cartshed attached to the left end.

The entrance front has a boarded door with a stone lintel on the left, a blocked opening, and a square window with leaded lights and a stone lintel. There is also a boarded door beneath a 4-centred arch. Above this, a 3-light mullioned window with leaded lights is present, and the top of the wall features single-panel high timber framing. There is a boarded door on the left and various panels on the right, with some infill replaced by glazing. The mill is built against a bank at the back.

On the right side of the front, there is a projecting lean-to wing with a gable on the left return. This wing has a 2-light casement window on the front, a boarded door accessed by three concrete steps, a window, and a double boarded door, all featuring stone lintels. The left end of the mill has a projecting cartshed with a weatherboarded gable on the right return, and the front is open with timber posts.

Inside, the mill contains a Savory overshot iron water wheel with a diameter of about 7 meters, and the axle is at ground level. The first floor on the right has heavy ceiling beams, queen-post trusses above, bent principals, a curved collar, and two pairs of purlins, with no ridge piece. The cartshed features king-post trusses with iron bolts connecting to the tie beam. The cartshed and lean-to on the right are mid to late 19th century additions, and the mill wheel dates from the 19th century.
