Description

Mill House is a mill building, likely from the 18th century, situated on an ancient mill site and reorganized in 1913-14. It is constructed from roughly coursed blocks of granite rubble and has a thatched roof. The mill is built across a slope, facing east towards the River Teign, with the leat running past the north end where it feeds an overshot water wheel. A brick crosswall separates a small room on the south side. The building is single storey.

The exterior features an irregular two-window front with small 20th-century casements that have glazing bars. The doorway is slightly left of center and contains a 20th-century door. There is a loading hatch in the rear wall directly opposite the door. At the right end, there is a vertical slot, likely related to some missing machinery. The roof is gable-ended, with both gables weatherboarded and containing 20th-century casements, one of which has rectangular panes of leaded glass. The iron wheel is also from the 20th century.

The interior has been refurbished in the 20th century, but the roof retains older A-frame trusses with pegged and spiked lap-jointed collars. The original machinery has been removed, although the wheel remains functional.

Mill House, along with the stables and coach house, forms an attractive group of listed buildings associated with Holystreet Mill, located in a particularly picturesque valley.
