Description

Mersington Mill is a house built in the earlier to mid-19th century, with later additions and alterations. It is a two-storey, three-bay rectangular-plan structure with a lower wing at the rear, creating a near T-plan, and flanking lean-to single-storey additions. The front is constructed of rubble whinstone, with cream sandstone dressings, while the sides and rear feature heavily-pointed rubble. The porch is rendered. The building has droved quoins and droved long and short surrounds around the openings, with relieving arches at the ground level. The crowstepped gables and dormerheads are present above the first-floor windows, and there are projecting cills throughout.

On the south (entrance) elevation, steps lead up to a boarded timber door that is centered at the ground level, topped by a fanlight with crossed astragals. There are single windows in the ground level flanking bays, and gabled dormerheads above the windows that break the eaves in all bays at the first floor.

The east (side) elevation is a blind elevation of the original house. There is a part-glazed boarded timber door in a lean-to porch that is recessed to the right, along with a single window in the single-storey wing that is recessed to the outer right.

On the north (rear) elevation, there is a projecting wing offset to the right of center, with flanking lean-to additions. A gabled window breaks the eaves at the first floor in the bay that is recessed to the outer right.

The west (side) elevation features the original house with a modern door in the bay to the left, and a single-storey addition projecting to the outer left. The building has Upvc glazing throughout, a grey slate roof with crowstepped skews, and iron rainwater goods. There are tall, corniced sandstone apex stacks with various cans.

The interior was not seen in 1998. The garden walls consist of rubble-coped, rubble walls at the front.
