Description
The water mill, located to the south of the Mill House in Kennington, is an early 19th-century structure. It stands three storeys tall, with the ground and first floors constructed of red brick featuring grey headers, while the upper level is tile hung. The roof is hipped and tiled. The building has two sash windows with glazing bars that remain intact, and there is a door on each floor on the south side. The water mill, along with the Mill House and Mill Cottage, forms a cohesive group.
