Mill House (EHER 38558)

A late 18th century timber framed house. It is weatherboarded with a facade of red brick in Flemish bond, roofed with handmade red clay tiles. It was built soon after March 1778 by Roger Cook, a miller, who appears to have built first a simple cottage for his own occupation (EHER 38559), and within 20 years to have built this more fashionable house alongside for his own use, and to have let the original cottage.

May 1986. Grade II listed. A late 18th century timber framed house. It is weatherboarded with a facade of red brick in Flemish bond, roofed with handmade red clay tiles. The building is on a 'T-shaped' plan facing SW with an early 19th century extension in the left rear angle. It has a four-window range of original sash windows, some with crown glass, with flat brick arches over the ground-floor windows, and a blocked window over the central door. There is a flush six-panel door, the top two panels glazed, with fluted pilasters, a fluted frieze with paterae, and a dentilled pediment. It is exceptionally unaltered outside and inside. The court rolls of Le How manor first record this second tenement on the site on 12 March 1799, the first having been built by the same owner, Roger Cook, soon after March 1778. As a miller he appears to have built first a simple cottage for his own occupation, and within 20 years to have built this more fashionable house alongside for his own use, and to have let the original cottage. <1> See photos <2>.
