Description
Downham Mill is a former mill, now used as a farm building, dating from 1818. It is constructed of rubble with a slate roof and has an L-plan layout. The building is two storeys high with an attic.
On the south wall, which is on the inner side of the 'L', there is a window with a plain stone surround on each floor, along with a door with a plain stone surround on each floor to the left, although the first-floor door is now blocked. The west wall, also on the inside of the 'L', features a window with a plain stone surround on both floors, with the first-floor window having a central square mullion. To the right on the ground floor, there is a wide doorway with a plain stone surround and a semi-circular head. Above this, on the first floor, is another door with a plain stone surround, inscribed with 'WA 1818' on the lintel.
The north wall has a door with a plain stone surround beneath a gable on the left, and to its right is a two-light window with a plain stone surround and a square mullion. On the first floor, there are three similar windows, and the attic has a similar window that was originally three lights but now has only one mullion remaining. The right wing has a window with a plain stone surround on each floor.
The east wall has three openings with relieving arches; the right-hand one is blocked, while the other two have windows with plain stone surrounds. On the first floor, there are two additional windows with plain stone surrounds. The interior retains original floors and features a platform for millstones supported by stone pillars.
