Description

A 17th-century mill house and attached watermill, significantly altered in the 18th and early 19th centuries. The building is constructed of red brick and ashlar stone, with pantile roofs and three brick chimney stacks. It has a V-shaped plan, with the watermill occupying the north-east range. The recessed central block features a central doorway with a six-panel door, a 20th-century garage door on the right, and a three-light cross casement window to the left. Above are a two-light sliding sash window. A projecting wing to the left has a three-light casement window on the ground floor and a two-light sliding sash window above. The north-east section houses the mill, with an ashlar ground floor, a moulded band above, brickwork above that, and ashlar coped gables with kneelers. The south-east front has a single-light window within a double chamfered surround, a later doorway to the left, and a chamfered doorway above. An attic opening is visible in the gable. The north-east front also has a chamfered doorway and a single-light double chamfered window, with three small shuttered loft openings above. Inside, the mill contains a 19th-century water wheel made of wood and iron.
