Description

The mill and millhouse, dating from the early 19th century, are constructed of brick and feature a tiled roof, with the right end covered in vertical weatherboarding. The building is one and a half storeys tall and has irregularly placed windows. The 20th-century casement windows have two and four lights with glazing bars. The ground floor openings are topped with segmental brick arches. There are two gabled dormers, and a loft door is centrally located on the millhouse. The entrance is now likely through Watermill Cottage, and the mill wheel has been removed.
