Description

Waterwheel house and throughway, now an agricultural building, probably from the early 19th century. It is constructed of coursed ham stone rubble and features a Welsh slate roof with stepped coped gables, topped with a ball finial and a weathervane on the south-west gable. The building has two storeys and consists of six bays. It includes cast-iron windows with segmental-arched heads, some of which are now blocked. The throughway occupies the two north-east bays and has cast-iron windows and a doorway, all with three-centre arches, in the southern flanking wall. This wall has an open loft above, featuring an oval light on the south-west gable. The water wheel, located on the other side of the wall in the garden of Parrett House, was not accessible for inspection.
