An unusually-detailed house with the majority of its original features in place - the timber bargeboards, sash and case windows and gabled porch being particularly notable. The OS Name Book notes Ayton Mill as being "...attached to a dwelling house 2 stories [sic] high." This earlier house is thought to have been set within the nearby mill complex - the remains of which can still be seen to the S.
