Millers house and mill building, disused at time of survey. Probably late C18 or early C19. Colourwashed and rendered; slate roof, gabled at ends; end stacks to house, the right end stack projecting. Plan: The south-facing house is single depth, 2 rooms wide, with a central entrance and an outside privy adjoining at the left (west) end. The mill building, to the right (east) has an overshot water wheel in a pit at the extreme right end covered by a corrugated iron lean-to, and is linked to the house by a covered cartway. Exterior: 2 storeys. Almost symmetrical 3-bay south elevation to the house with a central gabled porch and 2-light probably C19 timber casement windows. The mill building has 2 windows and a loft doorway to the right. The waterwheel is intact with timber buckets. Interior: No access to interior at time of survey (1987), but the mill was working in 1965 (SPAB survey, Sites and Monuments, County Hall) and the machinery, which was fully intact in 1978, is said still to be intact and said locally to be in working order.
