Description
The building is a tower mill constructed in 1814, which was raised in height in 1859 and later reduced again in 1949. It is made of tarred red brick and features brick battlements. Originally four storeys high, it was increased to seven storeys in 1859, but was brought back down to four storeys with battlements in 1949.
On the west side, there is a doorway with a plank door and a stone inscription above that reads 'W.A.S. 1814', along with three casement windows arranged one above the other. The north side has a doorway with a plank door and two casement windows above it. The south side features two casement windows, one above the other, while the east side has three casement windows arranged similarly. All openings have segmental heads. There is no milling machinery remaining inside the mill.
