Description
The Malt House, Miller's House, and Ledwyche House are a group of three houses that were originally a watermill, dating from the 17th century, with alterations made in the 18th, 19th, and 20th centuries. The buildings are constructed from rubble stone and brick, topped with plain-tile roofs that feature 20th-century roof lights. There are brick ridge stacks and both projecting and integral eaves stacks.
The layout is irregular and linear, oriented east-west, with a central cross wing. The Malt House is located to the east, the Miller's House occupies the central block, and Ledwyche House is situated in the west wing.
The south front is two stories high with a central cross-wing attic. It has an irregular arrangement of restored multi-pane casement windows, including both three-light and two-light designs, with brick segmental arches above, except for the cross wing. Notable features include two two-story, single-window units—one made of stone and the other of brick—along with a central boarded entrance door, which forms part of the Malt House on the right. The central cross wing has a brick gable end, with the Miller's House recessed behind it, featuring former door openings on both floors flanked by two-light casements with cambered heads. To the left, there is a stepped-down block that is single-story with an attic, which includes a projecting gabled wing forming Ledwyche House.
On the rear (north side), the central block has a two-story, three-window range with a brick-coped gable on the left that includes an attic window. There are restored two-light casements and full-height door openings to the right, along with a full-height window inserted in the upper opening and a stable door below. Two overshot steel waterwheels are retained at the lower level on this side. The left return side features a lean-to with a tiled gabled dormer that has a three-light casement.
Inside, the complete watermill mechanism, dated around 1860, is mostly intact in the Miller's House following its conversion into three houses in approximately 1987.
