Higher North Mill

Higher North Mill is a miller's house and water mill that has been converted into one residence. It dates from the early to mid 19th century and underwent conversion and restoration in the 20th century. The building is constructed of local slate rubble with red brick window arches. The house features a slate hipped roof, while the former mill has a gable-ended corrugated iron roof. There are stacks over the side walls of the house with red brick shafts and slate cowling.

The layout includes a double-depth plan for the house on the left, which has two principal rooms at the front, a central entrance, and a staircase at the back, with service rooms behind the front rooms. The partition between the front and back left-hand rooms has been removed. The mill, which is a cross-wing on the right side, is now part of the house, and its machinery has been removed.

The exterior of the house is two storeys tall, while the mill has two storeys and an attic. The house, set back on the left, has an almost symmetrical three-window front. The windows and doorway, slightly to the left, feature flat red brick arches and 20th-century 16-pane replacement sashes. The first-floor centre window is a 20th-century 12-pane sash. The doorway to the left of centre has a 19th-century panelled door, and to the right of the front is a small 20th-century round window with a corrugated iron canopy above in the angle with the mill. The mill has a projecting gable-ended cross-wing on the right, with a central ground floor doorway now replaced by a 20th-century casement window, and a 19th-century plank loading door above flanked by 12-pane casements. In the gable, there is a small pivot window. The right side of the mill features various 20th-century casements and a 20th-century glazed door.

The interior has been significantly altered. The front right-hand room and the room behind have been combined into one large room, and the chimneypieces have been removed. Some 19th-century joinery remains, but only the landing balustrade of the staircase is intact. The watermill is now part of the house, with only two stones from its machinery surviving on the first floor, which is currently used for storage.
