It features a timber frame that is exposed on the rear wall, while the front is either cased or rebuilt in brick. The cottage has a plain-tiled roof with a ridge stack, consists of two bays, and is one storey high with an attic. The rear elevation shows small framing that is two panels high.

The mill stands four storeys tall with a loft, and there is a mill race at the southeast end, which is currently dry. On the southwest side wall, there is a timber lucam supported by brackets.
