Description

This early 19th-century estate features a cohesive group of mill buildings, including a house, a former threshing mill, and a half-piended sawmill, all situated on sloping ground beside a dam bridge over a burn to the north.

The house is a two-storey, three-bay structure with a rectangular plan, featuring a single-storey piended-roof outshot to the right and a lean-to at the rear. It is constructed from whinstone rubble with red sandstone dressings. The windows are regularly spaced, with raised cills and first-floor windows positioned close to the eaves. The central entrance has a timber door with a narrow fanlight above, and there is an additional timber panelled door to the right. A garden wall is present on the eastern elevation. The house has 12-pane glazing in timber sash and case windows, a grey slate roof, coped end stacks, clay cans, and cast-iron rainwater goods.

The former threshing mill is also two-storey and three-bay, built from whinstone rubble on sloping ground. It features two central cart openings with timber doors on the eastern elevation, which are spanned by a timber lintel. Above these openings are two louvred openings at eaves level, and there is a timber door to the left. At the rear, steps lead to a piended-roof doorway that breaks the eaves, flanked by louvred openings, with a lower section to the right that has another doorway. The roof is covered with Welsh slate.

The former sawmill is a two-storey, four-bay rectangular-plan building with a piended roof and voussoired lintels above the openings. It has a pair of 6-pane fixed windows that abut the eaves level, with a piended roof on the right side and a gabled roof on the left. Skylights are present on the roof, and it is also covered with Welsh slate.

The bridge is constructed of solid rubble with a coped rubble parapet and features a single round-arched opening that retains remnants of a former sluice gate at its centre.
