Description

Old Cornmill is a mill that has been converted into a domestic accommodation. It is likely from the mid to late 18th century, built on an earlier site, with later additions and alterations. The structure features roughly coursed limestone rubble and slab masonry, along with a red brick addition, and is topped with slate roofs.

The main building has a gable front and stands three storeys high over a basement, while the mid-19th century brick addition to the left is two storeys tall and has a dentilled eaves cornice. The windows throughout are late 20th century top-hung aluminium-framed casements and fixed-light windows, but they retain original segmental heads. There are two segmental-headed windows on the first floor of the main building and one above the gable, along with another on the ground floor to the right of a 20th-century stable door, which also features an original segmental head. The brick addition contains two windows on both the first and ground floors, positioned where a former doorway once was. A narrow red brick stack is located at the junction of the main range and the 19th-century addition.

The front of the property includes rough quasi-boulder steps that incorporate part of a millstone. At the rear, there is a mill race featuring a small, likely early 20th-century iron wheel and pumping equipment. Nearby to the northwest is a brick-lined mill pond, although it is not included in this listing.
