Description

Bagtor Mill is a house that was formerly a mill and mill house, likely built in the late 17th century or early 18th century, with an addition at the south-east end from the 18th or 19th century. The structure is made of granite rubble and features a thatched roof that is half hipped at the south-east end. There are granite ashlar chimneystacks on each gable of the original building, with the one on the south-west gable projecting and having offsets. The building has an L-shaped plan, with the former mill house located in the south-west range and is two storeys high.

The original house has two-window fronts that face inwards towards the south-east and south-west, with all windows being good quality replicas of 19th-century small paned casements. Above the ground storey of the south-west front is an old slated pent roof supported by wooden brackets, with the slates covered lightly in cement. On the north-east front of the original mill range is a large cast iron water wheel, inscribed with "BEARE SON & CO 1875," from a firm that operated at Liverton foundry. This wheel was not in place when the previous listing was made but is believed to have been reassembled from parts found on the site. The addition has no windows on its north-east front.

The interior, including the upper floor beams, has been rebuilt in a style that is sympathetic to the older work. In the south-west gable of the ground storey, there is a large original fireplace with a segmental arch made of well-cut granite voussoirs. At the back of the fireplace is an oven with a cast iron door set in original stone frames, which opens to reveal a shallow stone shelf in front. The roofs of both original ranges feature 18th or early 19th-century trusses with collars pegged to the faces of the principal rafters. Approximately 20 metres south-west of the house is a separately listed outbuilding. The house, outbuilding, and mill cottage, located about 50 metres to the east and also separately listed, form a visually appealing group.
