EXTERIOR: 2 storeys over a basement storey. The entrance front in the east side has one window to the upper floor of the outshut, a low 2-storey lean-to porch in the angle, with an oak lintel, a shallow loading doorway over this and an inner wagon doorway with a loading door over it, to the right of the porch 2 square windows at ground floor and one above, and further right a low inlet archway to the wheel in the basement. The south gable wall has 4 small windows at ground floor and 2 above, and a gable chimney. On the west side the outshut has a basement doorway and one window on each floor above, the main range has one window to the basement, 3 square windows above (that in the centre offset upwards), and an arched outlet opening from the waterwheel. The north gable wall has a square-headed opening to a small cast-iron undershot waterwheel which has been restored with plain oak planks replacing the former buckets. INTERIOR: not inspected.
