Description
Huckworthy Mill is a house and former mill dating to the early 19th century. The building is constructed of stone rubble, with parts colour-washed and slate hung to the front. The roof is of asbestos slate, and a rendered rubble stack is located at the right gable end of the house.
Originally, the house and mill were a short distance apart, set at right angles. The house has an L-shaped plan, with two equal-sized rooms at the front, and a small, unheated wing behind the right-hand room. The two-storey house has a symmetrical three-window front. The first-floor windows are modern PVC sashes, while the ground-floor windows are later 19th-century four-pane horned sashes. A 19th-century brick gabled porch is centrally located, containing an original six-panelled door.
The mill is situated behind the left-hand end of the house and is now connected to it by a 20th-century single-storey addition. The mill is three storeys high, with a central gable above the second-floor window. The first floor has a central double-glazed door, flanked by 20th-century windows. The ground floor features a 20th-century two-light casement to the left and a stable-type door to the right. The mill wheel, originally located at the left gable end, has been removed, and the mill is no longer in use. The interior was inaccessible at the time of the survey.
