Description

The former flax mill or granary, located about 20 metres south of Nos 3, 5, and 7, is possibly from 1803. It is constructed from cut and squared ham stone with ashlar dressings, topped by a plain clay tiled roof that has stone slate base courses and stepped coped gables. The building has three storeys and a three-bay north elevation. On the ground floor, there are three 3-centre-arched openings, with the third bay now blocked and a 5-light transomed leaded casement window inserted. The outer upper bays feature 3-light hollow-chamfer mullioned windows without labels, which have internal iron bars; the second-floor windows are still leaded. There are doorways in the upper centre bays, with the lower one having a segmental arch and the upper one a flat arch in a gabled dormer. Stone steps lead to a first-floor doorway in the east gable. The west gable has a 4-light window on the second floor, and on the south side, above a string course that may indicate the roofline of a former lean-to, there are three additional 3-light mullioned windows. The interior has not been seen.
