Description
This is a late 19th-century corn mill built of granite rubble, with the upper section of the left gable in cob. It is situated into a bank, with the water leat (artificial channel) running on an embankment to the rear, and a wheel pit to the rear right. The roof is of slurried slate with gable ends and ridge coping tiles, the rear slope is in slate, and some sections are covered with corrugated iron.
The mill is two storeys high. A small, single-storey shed is attached to the front right, featuring two doors and two 20th-century six-pane windows, under a corrugated asbestos roof. A former two-storey addition is partially visible on the left side, marked by a straight joint. It retains small ventilation openings to the front and rear, and a doorway to the front left. The rear of the mill has ventilation slits at ground floor level on both sides, and a stone flight of steps leading to a central loading door under the eaves. Another stone stairway descends to the wheel pit, which contains a cast iron overshot waterwheel made by Oatey and Martyn of Wadebridge. The leat is carried on an embankment to the rear of the wheel. A small single light with a granite lintel is present in the right gable end loft. The interior remains uninspected.
