Description
Parrett House, at Carey’s Mill, is a detached house dating back to the 17th century. The front facade is built of Ham stone, appearing almost like ashlar, while the sides and rear are of coursed rubble. The roof is tiled with clay, featuring a stepped coped north-east gable and a hipped south-west gable. A brick chimney stack is also present.
The house has two storeys and three bays. The upper bays have ovolo-mould mullioned windows, with four lights to bays 3 and 4. The mullion in the central part of the window in bay 4 has been removed. Bay 1 on the upper level has a two-light mullioned window set within an architrave. The lower level features a three-light horizontal bar casement window in bay 3, an angled 20th-century bay window with a hipped slate roof in bay 4, sash windows, and French windows all set in architraves. Bay 2 on the lower level has a cambered-arched doorway with a partly glazed door. A cast-iron window with a segmental arched head is visible in the north-east gable. A long extension to the rear has plain mullioned windows set in architraves. The interior has not been inspected.
The house is likely linked to earlier grist and malt mills that have been on the site since at least 1086.
