Description
Mill House is a water-powered corn mill constructed from local sandstone rubble and whitewashed on three sides, topped with a natural slate roof. The elevation facing the yard and river features two storeys and an attic, and is partly three storeys on the right side, with a total of three and four window openings. The ground floor, also known as the sack floor, includes two cambered headed openings and two doors, along with a flat-headed window, which is likely a blocked mullioned window noted in previous descriptions. The left-hand door is wider than the other. The arrangement of features is as follows: door, window, window, door, window.
On the first or stone floor, there are two cambered head windows and a small square window to the right, with two rectangular windows above these on the right side. The roof is steeply pitched and features two roof-lights on the bin floor, with a stack located on the right gable. There is a two-storey lean-to on the left side, which has cart doors below and an arch-headed window above. The rear elevation has been more altered, as this was where the wheel and wheel pit were located, and the main entrance to the current house is into the stone floor. The rear elevation was not inspected.
The building was not available for inspection during the resurvey. Previous descriptions mention its original milling machinery, which had an unusual drive arrangement where one wheel powered the pump and another powered the corn milling machine. Since its listing in 1983, the mill has been converted for domestic use, and most of the original machinery is reported to have been removed. Additionally, there is said to be a 17th-century staircase that has been introduced.
