Description

Coombe Mill is a watermill, now used as a store, dating from the mid to late 19th century. It is constructed of stone rubble with brick segmental arches over the openings and features a rag slate roof with hipped ends. A brick stack is located on the right-hand hipped end. The building has a rectangular plan, originally housing a waterwheel at the east end, and is built into the side of a bank with the ground rising to the west. There is a large loading entrance on the first floor at the west end.

The south elevation is two storeys high with a symmetrical garden front featuring two four-pane casements on both the ground and first floors, along with a central 19th-century plank door. The north and east elevations are also two storeys tall, although the undershot wheel has been removed. The mill leat still survives. The west elevation is single storey, with a large opening below a timber lintel, reflecting the rising ground.

Inside, there is late 19th-century machinery, primarily made of iron, located in a pit along the north wall. Although the mill is derelict, the machinery appears to be largely complete. The first floor has had the millstones removed but retains the remains of sack hoists and features a bolted collar rafter roof. The mill was operational until the late 1940s.
