Description
This is a watermill with an attached tower windmill, alongside a mill bridge. The watermill was built in 1737, as indicated by a date on its west gable. A tower mill was added later, bearing a datestone reading "EB, Peace, 1814". The buildings are constructed of red brick with a red pantiled roof, with some additions featuring weatherboarding and a black tarred brick tower mill. The watermill originally comprised two storeys, with a possible third storey added around 1814. The tower mill stands five storeys high. The north front is largely obscured by a brick and weatherboarded addition dating to circa 1920, built on the line of a two-arch mill bridge with a keystone dated 1753. A weatherboarded gabled lucam hoist is present. The south front, facing the mill pond, has a ground-floor lean-to at the east end, two windows to the west, a first-floor lean-to with a pent-house roof on the west side, a single window to the east, and three windows on the second floor, with a cantilevered bay connecting to the third floor of the tower mill. The watermill is connected to the Mill House to the east via a two-storey link block. Internally, the watermill contains machinery, including an undershot waterwheel (possibly by Whitmore and Binyon of Wickham Market, Suffolk). The attached tower mill has a south-facing door with a datestone and four two-light casement windows above. The cap and sails have been removed, and no machinery survives within the tower mill.
