Two Mile House, Rough Hill, near Dodleston, lies close to the junction of the A483 and the A55. The original part of the farmhouse, symmetrical about a central gable, is of the late 17th century, and comprises two-and-a-half storeys and three bays.
In the late 19th century were added a two storey, two-bay extension to the right, and a further extension to the rear. The construction is of brick, with sandstone dressings and a slated roof. The original part boasts sash windows; those in the extensions are casements.
Of six bedrooms and four reception rooms, the house was Grade II listed in 1983. It has been empty since 2014, when it was bought, for £575k, by a development company. It and the extensive associated farm buildings look set for demolition, as in 2017 was granted outline planning permission for an estate of 483 dwellings.

Do you have anymore information about what the house used to be?
On one of the entrances to the building there is 'Farm Shop' written on the wall. However I cant find any evidence or history that this was a actual farm shop or not? But as the property is quite big, I would have thought that It was once used for something?
My understanding is that the building was a farmhouse.
