This building is a main three and four-storey block, built in 1865 as the Brick Lane mills. It features an effective massing of two main blocks and a chimney stack. The exterior is constructed from sandstone "brick" with ashlar dressings. The four-storey block has a gable end facing the road and an 18-bay side range. It has plain console brackets at the eaves of the slate roof and cambered ashlar lintels above the ground floor windows. The three-bay gable end includes round-headed outer windows. A stair turret, topped by a water tank, is located at the south-west corner, featuring quoin pilasters, string courses, narrow paired round-headed windows, and a moulded eaves cornice beneath the water tank. The three-storey range has 26 bays facing the road and a similar return elevation to that of the four-storey block, with a doorway that has a block pediment. A tall, graceful, tapering octagonal mill chimney with a cornice capping is also present. To the right of the entrance gates is a single-storey office range with a narrow end facing the road, featuring a hipped slate roof, a plinth, and an impost band that links the stilted segmental arched windows.
