Description
Cynfal Mill is a picturesque group of three linked buildings, consisting of the mill itself to the north, which is two storeys high, with the wheel pit located against the north gable. Centrally, there is an oat kiln with a gable front, and to the south, a single storey cartshed. All the buildings are constructed from local shale stone in uncoursed axe dressed masonry, featuring slate roofs with tile ridges and a roof light at the rear. The entire complex has been converted into a dwelling, with a bridge connecting the upper storey of the mill to the upper storey of the oat kiln, and a ground storey link that connects the oat kiln to the cartshed. Both the bridge and the link are made from similar materials.
The mill retains its original main doorway, which has an elliptical arch, although the door itself has been replaced. There is a small central ground storey window with a large stone lintel, and a small two-light upper storey window to the right. The oat kiln building features a jack-roofed ventilator centrally and a small two-light window in the apex of the front gable.
Inside the mill, the pit wheel, wallower, and spur wheel are still present at the north end. In the kiln building, the perforated brick floor of the kiln has been removed, but the bricks have been reused.
