One storey and attic, 2 storeys and gable-lit attic. 2 gabled full dormers to right with early C20 3-light leaded wooden casements; large brick ridge stack off-centre to right (rebuilt above roof in late C20) and C20 external brick end stack to left (replacing old stack). 3-window front; first-floor C19 3-light leaded wooden casement to left and ground-floor C20 three- and 4-light wooden casements to right; 3-light window and boarded door to left behind C20 lean-to addition also with 3-light window and boarded door. Right-hand return front has central half-glazed door with early C19 panelled surround and bracketed porch; exposed collar and tie-beam truss above with queen struts and v-struts, C19 two-storey gabled wing at rear with dentil brick eaves cornice.

A corn mill and fulling mill had been established here by 1581.
