Civil Parish in Staffordshire Stafford

England

Hilderstone

Mill House Mill House is a grade-2 listed building, also known as "Stone's Throw". The Hilderstone Conservation Area Appraisal describes it thus: "This late 18th century house has an asymmetrical four-bay frontage suggesting an evolution from an earlier building. To the right is the plain elevation of a former outbuilding, which serves as a prominent reminder of the agricultural and industrial origins of the village. Its white painted rendered elevations are a recent replacement for roughcast and give it an air of status".
