Description
The building is a windmill dating from 1840. It is a tower mill constructed of tarred brick and features a shingled roof shaped like a hexagonal cone with overhanging eaves. The structure has five storeys and an attic, with a circular plan.
On the north side, there are three window ranges, all fitted with casements that have glazing bars. The south side includes one double-hung sash window with diagonal wooden glazing bars on the ground floor, while the rest are casements with glazing bars. The east side has a planked door on the ground floor and a double-hung sash window with glazing bars on the first floor. The west side features a planked door on the first floor, accessed by wooden steps. There is an attic dormer on the south side with a gabled roof, which may have originally had a loft door.
Notably, the sails, windshaft, and fantail are all missing, and the machinery is in a derelict state.
