Description

The building is a mid-19th century milling complex that has been converted into a warehouse, originally constructed for the Allens of Highfield House. It is made of Doulting rubble and features hipped slate roofs.

The south-east mill block is three storeys high and has seven bays with segmental-headed openings, some of which are barred. The first floor retains remains of sash windows, and there are small rectangular openings under the eaves. An angled bay is located on the first floor to the left of the center. The central part of the facade includes a broad semi-circular arched doorway with a stone architrave and plank doors. There is also a doorway on the second floor, with a gabled hoist that springs out of the roof above. Lean-tos extend at right angles to both the left and right of the facade, with the left one being a single storey that backs onto a high boundary wall with Park Road. This wall ends in a rusticated ashlar pier.

To the west, there is a rectangular block that is obscured by lean-tos with catslide roofs. This section has one brick stack and one ashlar stack with moulded capping. The north gable end features two windows.
