Description

Cossington Mill is a restaurant, originally a mill, dating to the 17th century, with later restoration and modifications. The building is constructed of whitewashed brick and timber framing, featuring large panels with brick infill and a hipped roof covered in Swithland slate, with two brick stacks and a 20th-century metal stack. It has a roughly L-shaped plan.

The main facade, facing the road, is one bay wide, with a jettied first-floor projection containing a two-light casement window. A doorway is situated under an archway below, with a two-light window to the side. A projecting wing to the right has a brick coped gable and a further bay, featuring a two-light and a one-light window above a three-light window. A one-story extension with a Swithland slate roof, formerly housing the mill wheel, is visible on the facing gable. An attic window is a two-light. To the left, one bay is four panels wide, flanked by two one-story extensions.

The rear elevation, facing the river, is five panels wide, with two two-light windows, one with a transom, above two three-light windows, and a further two-light window. A central buttress is present. The right-hand side of the rear elevation has two two-light windows within one-story extensions. The side facing the road, comprising six panels, includes a one-story lean-to with a Welsh slate roof, containing a three-light, a two-light window, and a glazed door. Above the lean-to are a three-light window, two two-light windows one above the other, and a further two-light window.

Internally, chamfered beams and exposed roofs are visible. The roof over the main area, spanning three bays, consists of single purlins with tie beam trusses. Some timbers date to the 19th century.
