OTTERTON THE GREEN, Otterton
SY 08 NE
3/178 Mill House
-
GV II
House, belonging to Otterton Mill. C17 or C18 origins, much rebuilt in the early
C19. Main walls of plastered cob stone rubble footings; stone rubble or brick
stacks topped with C19 brick; pantile roof.
Double depth plan house facing south-south-west, say south. The principal rooms are
those on the front, service rooms in narrow continuous rear outshot. The main block
has a 3-room-and-through-passage plan. The passage is between the centre and right
(eastern) rooms and the stairs are off to left at the back in the outshot. The left
front room is small and has its own entrance and therefore might have been the mill
office or something similar. Axial stack between this room and the centre room and
end stack to right front room. Left end stack to service outshot which also
projects further than the main block at the right end. All 2 storeys.
Irregular 4-window front but the centre and right 3-window section is symmetrical
about a central doorway. Early C19 6-panel door with reeded panel frames and
overlight. 12-pane sash directly above. Both flanked by 16-pane sashes. At the
left end there is another identical door with overlight and a blind window recess
overhead. Deep plain eaves and roof is hipped each end. The rear pitch is carried
down over the outshot. The front corner of the projecting outshot is rounded and
contains a C20 door with a casement window with glazing bars above. More similar
casements with glazing bars to rear.
Interior shows only C19 joinery detail and the original layout and detail is well-
preserved. No evidence of earlier work is exposed.
Mill House, its garden walls (q.v.), Otterton Mill (q.v.) and its stables (q.v.)
form a strong group on the western side of Otterton Village which also contains a
high number of attractive listed buildings.
