Description
The building is a round house, originally the base of a smock mill that was extended and converted into a house in the early 19th century. It is two storeys high. Constructed of whitewashed brick in a Gothick style, the original mill base is octagonal, topped with a conical thatched roof and overhanging eaves. A central octagonal chimney stack is visible. Attached to the round base is a rectangular wing covered with a slate roof. Windows vary across the building; at the rear are older 2-light cast-iron casements with square leaded panes and pointed heads to the lights. The rectangular wing features 2-light casements with pointed arches and traceried heads. The round mill base has similar windows set in deep-chamfered reveals, with a blocked window on each storey, and one long sash window with intersecting tracery and small panes. The entrance is through a 6-panel door, set within a thatched timber porch built in a rustic style.
