Description
Ellerton Mill is a late 18th-century watermill located on Mill Lane in Cheswardine. The building is constructed of red brick set on a dressed red sandstone plinth, topped with a plain tile roof. It stands two storeys high with a loft and features a dentil brick eaves cornice.
The east front, which is at right angles to the road, has a segmental-headed two-light window on the first floor to the right, and a segmental-headed boarded door to the left. On the ground floor, there are two segmental-headed two-light windows flanking a segmental-headed doorway. The northern gable end includes a segmental-headed boarded loft door and an off-centre boarded door on the first floor to the right. A datestone in the gable is illegible but may read "William Chandler 1795." The southern gable features three dovecote openings at the apex.
To the west, there is a cast-iron overshot double-width wheel with a header tank. Inside, the mill has a dog-leg stair and trap doors, but all other fittings have been removed. The structure retains a pair of roof trusses.
