Description

High Mill House is a 17th-century house that has undergone later alterations. It features roughcast rendered walls and a graduated green slate roof with an eaves cornice and moulded modillions. The house is two storeys high and has two 19th-century corniced chimneys. The entrance includes a 20th-century door set beneath a bracketed stone head, with a paired sash window to the left, one 19th-century sash window and one 20th-century window to the right. On the upper floor, there are four 19th-century sash windows, all of which have glazing bars. Inside, the house contains an early 19th-century staircase and six-panelled doors, as well as a cruck truss on the upper floor at the rear and fitted oak cupboards in the kitchen at the rear.
