Description
The Old Mill is an early 19th century mill of two storeys and a tall stature. The south elevation has an irregular three-bay arrangement, with a projecting kiln at the rear creating an L-shaped plan. The building is constructed of rubble with tooled rubble dressings. An off-centre front entrance is present, and the roof is slated, featuring a ridge vent for the kiln. The wheel at the west gable no longer survives. Inside, some original mill machinery remains in situ. The statutory address is Cannich Mill.
