Description
The building is a water mill, dated 1791 as shown on a plaque, with 19th-century additions and alterations. It was converted to five dwellings in 1986. The mill is constructed of coursed limestone rubble with freestone dressings, featuring Collyweston stone slated roofs and a red pantiled roof. The main north-south range has three storeys and attics, topped by a mansard roof, with a two-storey gable extension to the south, formerly linked at right angles to an east-west range. A single-storey and attic steam engine house is situated to the north, alongside a western outshut and a tapering red brick stack. The west elevation has seven bays, with segmental arched window heads featuring dropped keystones and cast iron glazing bars. The ground floor and first-floor windows have five panes, pivot hung, while second-floor windows have eight panes. There are two boarded first-floor doors, a wheel archway to the left, double glazed doors to the left of centre, and a brick segmental arched opening to the right of centre. Inside, much of the original machinery remains, including two water wheels—one with a 14-foot diameter—two pairs of stones, sash hoists, and grain bins.
