Description
The Windmill House is an early 19th-century true windmill that has been altered and is no longer used as a mill. It features a coursed rubble battered tower that stands three storeys high, with a parapet that conceals the roof. The building has modern casement and sash windows. There are also additions to the east and west made of whitewashed brick and roughcast, both with Welsh slated roofs, one being a single storey and the other a single storey with an attic.
