Appraisal
This long, low building makes a notable addition to the village streetscape. Set with its gable to the road, it overlooks the ruins of the flour mill to the south-east. Built as the miller's house, it appears to have been altered and extended over time, and was later in use as a pair of houses. The range of outbuildings to the rear adds to its setting and context.
