Description

Mill Farmhouse is an early to mid-18th century farmhouse, with a cottage and outbuilding likely dating to the early 19th century. Constructed from granite rubble walls with dressed stone quoins, it features thatched gable ends and chimney stacks. Originally a rectangular, single-depth building, consisting of a probable three-room plan, a one-room cottage was added to the left end, and an outbuilding was added to the far left, set back and incorporating a lean-to at the rear of the cottage. The main farmhouse front is almost symmetrical, featuring two windows on the ground floor, a central doorway, and a window to the cottage which is slightly set back. The ground floor has 2-light C20 wood casement windows with glazing bars in original openings; the first floor right has a 2-light window, and the ground floor left, a 3-light window with a rough granite lintel. A C20 plank door is centrally located within a wooden weatherboarding porch with a lean-to thatched roof. The cottage windows are timber casements, with a ground floor 3-light window featuring H-L hinges and internal iron stanchion bars and one horizontal glazing bar; it has a 4-panel door with heavy mouldings, likely from the mid to later 19th century. The outbuilding, possibly a former mill, is of granite rubble construction with dressed stone quoins and a slate roof with gable ends. It is two-storey with a central doorway on both the ground and first floors; a narrow ventilation slit is to the left of the ground floor door, and a small rectangular window opening to the right. The interior has not been inspected.
