Description

Raventhorpe Mill is a mill house, now a residential property, dating from the early to mid-18th century, possibly with earlier origins, and featuring 20th-century alterations. It is constructed from coursed squared stone with a herringbone tool finish and has a pantile roof. The building is two storeys high with an attic and consists of three bays, along with a lower wing at the rear left, a two-storey outshut at the back of the right-hand bays, and a later single-storey bay on the right, which is not of special interest.

The central entrance features a 20th-century six-panel door set beneath a keyed lintel. The windows are 20th-century casements with glazing bars, with the window above the door being narrower. All windows have keyed lintels and projecting sills. The building has an eaves band, shaped kneelers, and ashlar coping. There are tabled end stacks, with the left stack partly rebuilt in white brick. Each gable end has a small side-sliding sash attic window.

At the rear, the main range has a large, blocked central ground-floor window with a keyed lintel. The inner return of the wing features a Romanesque-style head projecting at the first-floor level. The rear wing, on the left return, includes a 20th-century door, two windows, two dormers, and shaped kneelers with ashlar coping on the left end.

Inside, there is a closed-string dog-leg stair with turned balusters. The two main rooms on the first floor have stop-chamfered spine beams and joists with run-out chamfers, and there are three collared principal-rafter roof trusses.
