The building has a square plan with a projecting lean-to on the north side. The west elevation includes a timber lintel above a fixed six-light casement window next to a plank door. There is also a plank door at the west end of the lean-to. This wellhouse is part of a group of buildings at Elston Hill Farm that were built for Stephen Mills, an agricultural improver.
