Description
Nursling Mill is a watermill that has been converted into two dwellings. It was originally built in 1728, with modifications in the mid-19th century and late 20th century. The walls are made of brickwork in Flemish bond, featuring cambered arches over the openings, and it has a slate roof. The building is rectangular, consisting of two storeys and two attic floors, with the south front displaying five openings.
There are two doorways on the first floor that have been glazed, each with a hoist on brackets above, and a casement window at the front, along with boarded walls and a gabled roof. The ground floor has three plain doors. The east gable features a wall monument framed in brick, with an arched top and a keystone, along with a stone plaque that reads, "This building stands on a frame of large beech timber which was given by Sir Richard Mill Bart, in the memory of whose kindness this stone was placed here by T.C.K 1728."
During the conversion to dwellings, the original machinery of the mill was retained. In front of the mill, the roadway crosses a bridge above the race, which has a wide brick arch opening onto the lower pool.
