Description
Alemill is a later 19th century house that has undergone additional alterations. It is an asymmetrical, two-storey, three-bay gabled structure with a rear wing that forms an L-shape. The building is constructed from red rubble sandstone, which is heavily pointed in parts, and features cream sandstone dressings. Key architectural details include a base course, stugged quoins, stugged long and short surrounds to stop-chamfered openings, sandstone mullions, and projecting cills.
On the southwest (entrance) elevation, there are steps leading to a centrally located timber panelled door, which is topped by a plate glass fanlight and sheltered by a sandstone-bracketed canopy. A small window is aligned above at the first floor. To the right, there is a bipartite window at ground level, and a gabled dormerhead above it breaks the eaves. The outer left side features a full-height gabled projection with bipartite windows centered at both the ground and first floors, along with a narrow opening in the gablehead.
The northwest (side) elevation consists of four bays. The gable end on the right has a single window at ground level and another at the first floor, offset to the left, with a narrow opening centered in the gablehead. To the left, there is a flush two-bay wing that includes a glazed door at ground level and a gabled dormerhead above a window that breaks the eaves, along with a single window at ground level on the outer left.
On the northeast (rear) elevation, the main block features a single window centered at the first floor. A gabled projection to the right has a single window at ground level, offset to the left of center, and another centered at the first floor. There is also a single-storey addition to the outer left that encloses a courtyard.
The southeast (side) elevation has a gable end on the left with single windows at both ground and first floors, offset to the left of center, and a narrow opening centered in the gablehead. The right side features an irregularly fenestrated range that is recessed, with a gabled dormerhead above a window that breaks the eaves, and a single-storey addition to the outer right. Coped rubble walls enclose the courtyard at the front.
The windows predominantly feature 3- and 6-pane glazing in timber sash and case style. The roof is slate with stone-coped skews and scroll-bracketed skewputts, along with corniced, brick-built apex stacks that have various cans.
The interior was not seen in 1999. The boundary walls are made of heavily-pointed, coped rough rubble and partially enclose the site, dating back to an earlier house in part.
