GV II

Possible former fulling mill. Site occupied since 1646,
probably rebuilt mid C19. Squared, coursed limestone rubble
and ashlar dressings, gable stack and double Roman tile roof.
Single-depth plan. Tudor Revival style.
2 storeys and attic; 1-window range. Built across the stream
with 2 shallow segmental brick arches; N elevation has a large
central 3-light stone-mullioned and transomed window extending
below the ground floor, with segmental-arched heads, sunken
spandrels and a label mould; similar mullion window to the
second floor, the outer light blocked, small glazing bars to
the middle ones.
S elevation has a similar first-floor mullion window, a
central second-floor segmental-arched window with ashlar
surround, and a small paired right-hand window with
round-arches. The entrance gable is coped, with a flight of
steps up to the raised ground floor, a plain ashlar surround
to a segmental-arched doorway, and 3-light first- and
second-floor 4-centre-arched windows, the outer ones blocked.
To the left of the steps, a blocked round-arched opening to
the space beneath the mill. 4 decorative wrought-iron ties.
INTERIOR: details include a dogleg stair to the left of the
entrance, with internal stud partitions forming small rooms,
one full-width room to the house end, and a ladder up to the
attic, with a trussed roof with wide boards and a plank ridge.
An interesting example of a small water-powered site, with
considerable architectural interest, and group value with
Quemerford Mill (qv).
