Appraisal
Originally built as a house in the Georgian period, this building has been significantly altered. However, much of the original fabric has been retained, including some timber sliding sash windows, which were re-used. Subtle detailing, such as finials and render platbands, and the balustrade over the porch, articulate and enliven the house, which was associated with the mill across the road.
