Lower Dress Sawmill

Lower Dress Sawmill is a mid-19th century, single-storey building with an attic and basement, originally a water mill and now functioning as a sawmill. It is constructed from tooled, coursed granite rubble with long and short dressings. The exterior features metal sliding doors and crowstepped gables.

The west elevation is symmetrical, with a central door on the ground floor that is topped by a partially obscured tooled datestone reading "??M?54". There is a window in each of the flanking bays, and a window is set in the gablehead.

The south elevation is asymmetrical, featuring a multi-light window with a sliding shutter in the left bay, and a lean-to addition with a sliding door and various infills to the right. There are seven 2-pane skylights in the attic floor.

The east elevation is nearly symmetrical, with a door at the centre of the basement floor, and windows in the left and right bays of the ground floor, along with a window in the centre of the gablehead.

The north elevation is asymmetrical, with an off-centre opening to the right of the basement floor, three regularly placed windows on the ground floor, and seven 2-pane skylights in the attic floor.

The building predominantly features 6-pane timber pivoting windows. The roof is covered with grey slate and has a lead ridge, with a slate-hung ventilator at the centre. There is a coped granite wallhead stack on the east side and cast-iron rainwater goods. The interior was not seen in 1998.
