Description
The watermill and wheel at Little Carlton Mill House, built in 1820 by engineer I. Saunderson, is now used as a store. It is constructed of red brick with a pantile roof, featuring brick coped gables and an external gable stack. The building has three storeys and a three-bay front, with a brick dentillated eaves course. The entrance is an off-centre planked door, accompanied on the left by a single fixed rectangular light and two boarded windows. On the first floor, there is a central sliding glazing bar sash window, with a limestone tablet to the left inscribed with "Joseph Bond 1820. I. Saunderson Engineer." All windows have segmental brick heads, and on the second floor, there are three top hung plain rectangular windows. To the right, there is an iron overshot mill wheel. The interior has lost most of its machinery, retaining only an iron drive wheel and spindle. Little Carlton Mill House itself is not listed.
