Mill Cottage (EHER 25384)

An 18th century timber framed and plastered cottage with a 19th century extension. It may have been used as a toll house.

February 1982. Grade II listed. An 18th century timber framed and plastered cottage. Brick faced on the ground storey. Roof tiled (old tiles), hipped at the south end. Two storeys. Two window range, casements with glazing bars. Central doorway with tiled hood on brackets. A raised brick band extends across the front between the storeys. End brick stack at the north end. A later 19th century flint and brick addition of one storey extends to the south. Roof pantiled. The original building is said to have been The Old Toll House that functioned until the latter part of the 18th century. <1> The north side appears to be an extension, whilst the brick face of the ground storey is not continued above. External inspection of front elevation therefore suggests this building may well have originally been a smaller single storey dwelling, possibly a toll house. <2> <3>
