Slane Mill

Detached three-bay two-storey house mill house, c. 1765, now in use as a private residence. Roughly coursed limstone walls with carved limestone quoins and projecting ashlar eaves course. Squared-headed window openings with carved stone surrounds, stone sills and replacement timber sash windows. Large round-headed window opening to east elevation may have been a door opening. Centrally positioned doorcase on south façade with carved stone surrounds. Hipped natural slate roof with clay ridge tiles. Five-bay two-storey over basement extension, c. 1799, attached to west. Three-bay entrance front to west elevation with pedimented porch breakfront. Round-arched door opening with pilasters and sidelights flanking door with neo-Classical style fanlight. Ashlar limestone walls with a limestone cornice. Square-headed window openings with moulded limestone architraves and sills with replacement timber sash windows. Hipped natural slate roof. Three-storey modern extension to north.

This mill house, variously known as "Mill Lodge" and "Boyneville", forms part of an interesting group of mill related structures with the mill, water channels, gates and gate lodge. The original mill manager's house is quite modest in comparison to the architectural scale and detailing of the adjacent mill. The later extension is more extravagant in terms of architectural scale and detailing. This indicates that the mill company was extremely profitable in the first decades of its operation. This extension is well designed and proportioned with some fine decorative details such as the fanlight, window surrounds and cornice. Reputedly constructed by Mr. J. Gilbert.
