Description
This is a two-storey mill house, likely dating to the 18th century, constructed of roughly coursed boulder stone with large stones serving as quoins and lintels. The main range has a roof of small slates, with more recent slates on the rear wings. The main house has a three-window front with tall stone stacks at each end; the stack on the right (southwest) gable is particularly broad and external, both having dripstones and capping. To the left (northeast), the range continues as a two-window range, with stone copings at the northeast gable, likely representing a converted stable or cowhouse as documented in a 1966 listing description. Both parts of the main range are accompanied by rear wings, and a later lean-to addition connects them to form a porch. A modern conservatory has been added against the southwest wall of the rear wing of the main house.
The main house features three windows evenly spaced across the front, with a central doorway. The ground-floor openings are topped with large, rough stone lintels, and the windows are tall. The outer first-floor windows are set within gabled half-dormers that break the eaves line, while the central window is a small, two-paned light directly below the eaves. A single ground-floor window is located to the right of the external stack at the southwest gable. The rear wing is set back from this gable, with a modern conservatory built into the angle. The rear wing is probably contemporary with the main house and has a broad gable stack with capping and a single first-floor dormer breaking the eaves line along the southwest wall.
The two-window range to the left has widely spaced openings and a doorway at the right end, sheltered by a timber porch; the first-floor windows are within raking dormers. A further doorway is present in the northeast gable, accessed by a flight of three stone steps. The rear wing of this section has a modern roof with two gabled dormer windows along the northeast pitch, a doorway positioned directly below a window on the right side, and Velux windows along the rear (southwest) pitch of the roof.
The lean-to addition connecting the two ranges has a low rubble wall and timber doors and windows, all under a slated roof. The doors and windows throughout the range are modern timber replacements for earlier metal-framed casements.
The building is constructed of stone with a slate roof and stone stacks. The windows are a mix of sashes and casements, with upper windows set within gabled projections. The interior has been modernised and lacks noteworthy original features.
