Description


OAKLEY OAKLEY PARK
TM 17 NE
2/143 The Old Mill
II
House, incorporating small remains of watermill. Used in C19 as laundry for
Brome Hall and Oakley Park estate. Principally late C16 and C17, in several
phases; mid C20 addition to north. Timber framed, mainly plastered, with a
pantiled roof. 2 storeys and attic. Various small-paned casement windows.
At the south end are 2 small square windows at upper floor level, probably
once ventilation openings for the laundry drying room. C18 lean-to addition
across part of the front, with boarded and half-glazed doors. A glazed door
in the main range. One gabled dormer. 2 stacks with clustered polygonal
shafts. Short lean-to on south gable end was part of a mill, which must have
extended as far as the adjacent wheel channel. Older part of house is to
south: the upper floor of the end room has been removed, probably when the
laundry was started; the adjacent bay has plain joists to ground floor
ceiling. North half is C17: one bay of chamfered joists; plain first floor
studding. Roof over this section has stepped diminished butt purlins, of
later C17 date. ______________________________
