Mouse Mill

Mouse Mill is an early 18th century mill building, dated 1719, with expansions in 1795 and around 1835. It features a two-storey and basement, two-bay, L-plan design, with a later shallow pitched section at the rear and a pitched roofed former wheelhouse attached to the basement level of the angled south gable. The building has an irregular pattern of windows.

Adjoining the mill are six bays of symmetrical, paired former cottages that have Gothic pointed windows and small square windows beneath the eaves. The main mill section is predominantly finished in ashlar stone on the front and gable, with a painted finish on the principal elevation. The walls are made of rubble with rough hewn ashlar quoins and window surrounds in other areas. There are exterior steps leading to the basement area, which features a broad stone archway inscribed with the date 'W M 1719'. The upper floor windows have projecting cills, and there is an eaves course on the former cottages.

The windows are timber sash and case with 12-, 4-, and 6-pane glazing, along with multi-pane glazed doors. The roof is covered in small graded grey slate and includes small cast-iron rooflights. The building has ashlar coped skews, short rubble stacks with rough ashlar quoins, flat copes, and clay cans, as well as cast-iron rainwater goods.

Inside, the mill has been modernised into a dwelling since 1980, but two mill stones remain sunken in the upper floor of the main living space. Exposed timber posts and beams can be seen among late 20th century partitions.

The property also includes a massive ashlar coped rubble retaining wall along the roadway, which ends in a large rounded ashlar entrance gatepier to the mill boundary. There is a secondary pair of gatepiers to the south of the former path of the mill lade.
