Description
Crowan Mill is a mill and millhouse, with the millhouse likely dating from the 18th century and the mill from the mid to late 19th century. The structure features granite rubble walls with dressed granite quoins, sills, jambstones, and lintels. The house is made of moorstone, while the mill has slate sills. Both buildings have scantle slate roofs; the house has rendered chimneys on its gable ends.
The taller mill is attached to the left side of the house and has a hipped roof that runs at right angles to the front. The layout includes a double depth, two-storey house with a cross passage between the two front rooms. The mill, which is three storeys over a basement, projects further back on the left side. The overshot wheel and its bearing wall are located on the left side of the mill. The wheel features wooden buckets and an inner cog wheel made of applewood and hornbeam. The machinery, which was last used in 1946, has been kept in good running order.
The mill has a symmetrical three-bay front with loading doorways in the middle of each floor and a window on either side. The second-floor doorway has a dormered gable above to provide additional headroom, along with a cantilevered staging and railing in front. The mill's doors are ledged, and it has four-pane windows, with very small windows in the basement. The house has a nearly symmetrical two-window front with a central doorway, which is set within a 20th-century gable-ended porch. The windows in the house are six-pane horned sashes. The interiors have not been inspected.
