Description

Cornmill is a former cornmill dating from the early 19th century, with later alterations. The building features dressed sandstone on the front and right gable, while the left side is made of sandstone rubble. It has a timber lucam and herringbone-tooled quoins, topped with a slate roof. The structure is three stories tall with a four-bay front, and there is a single-storey pent office extension at the front. A full-height gabled lucam projects over double board doors located to the right of the extension. There is a board door set in a keyed segment-arched opening in the return wall of the extension. To the left of the extension is the former millwheel chamber opening, which has a keyed round arch made of voussoirs but is now blocked by a two-light small pane casement window with a stone sill. The remaining windows of the mill are similar, featuring heavy milled lintels. The extension has a two-light, small-pane, horizontal sliding sash window, and there is a single fixed light with glazing bars at each stage of the lucam.
