Description
Moor Mill House and Mill is a combined mill house and mill built in a single large range, with the mill house positioned lower and on the right. The mill house dates from around 1700 and was altered in the early 19th century when the mill was added on the left. The mill house is constructed of painted brick with black-painted brick quoins, while the mill features a painted brick ground floor and a weatherboarded upper floor. Both structures have plain tile roofs.
The two-storey mill house faces east and includes a painted brick band and dentilled brick eaves, which are early 19th-century alterations likely made around the same time as the hipped roof. It has five segmental-headed windows with twin casements, and a 19th-century sash window on the left side of the ground floor. The second window from the left on the first floor is blank, and there was formerly a central door that has been replaced with a 20th-century bay window. The south elevation has one segmental-headed window. A recessed bay on the left features a 19th-century half-glazed door topped with a heavy cornice hood supported by twin brackets.
The mill itself has five to six assorted casement windows and four stable doors. Centrally, there are sack hoist doors, and above, in the roof, is a two-storey hoisting bay.
