Description
Shurton Mills is a mill owner's house with attached outbuildings to the north, now serving as a dwelling. It dates from the 17th century and was enlarged in the 18th century. The building is roughcast over rubble with a slate roof. There is a brick stack on the right, and a slightly higher independently roofed block abuts to the south, featuring a pantiled brick stack on the left. A tall brick stack rises from the eaves at the rear in the northeast corner.
The plan is L-shaped, with the mill owner's house lying north-south and the mill building, now known as The Old Mill (which is not included in this listing), attached at the southwest. The house has two storeys and a long three-bay facade with irregularly placed windows. On the left, there is a three-light 19th-century casement window, and on the right, two small 20th-century windows. The ground floor features a three-light 19th-century casement window on the left, a buttress, and the remains of a wall in the center, with the entrance on the right consisting of a 19th-century studded plank door. The main entrance is now in an attached 20th-century lean-to, which is a one-bay addition on the left.
Behind the entrance is a slate-roofed single-storey block with a cellar and an extended shelter shed to the north, which has been extensively altered and is approached by a flight of steps. The mill is first mentioned in the rate books in 1652, according to the current owner of The Old Mill House, who also possesses an 1836 survey of the property showing that the truncated wall on the facade is the remains of a wash house that lay parallel to the mill buildings.
