Mill and store, 1840 with later C19th additions. Sandstone rubble with rock- faced sandstone dressings and slate roof. 3 storeys. Main block of 3 parallel pitched roofs running from north-west to south-east. Adjoining to the south-west is a later block with 2 pitched roofs in parallel, but not extending as far to the south-east. Lower additions to the south-west. The building thus presents 5 gables, with copings, to the north-west. Under the 2 left-hand ones are wide tall doorways with segmental arches having projecting keystones. Above each are 3 small window openings with plain stone surrounds, the 2nd gable also having a loading door. The part of the building under the 3rd gable appears at the rear to be original, but is straight jointed on the front wall. It has a 3-storey loading door, now partly blocked, and 2 windows with plain stone surrounds and glazing bars. The 2 later gabled sections at the right have windows with plain stone surrounds and glazing bars, and a door on the ground and 1st floor. The rear of the original portion has small openings with plain stone surrounds on each floor.The south-east wall has a central loading door on each floor, the ground floor one not having a plain stone surround and being roughly broken through.
