Description

Milton Mill is an L-plan building that consists of two main phases, dating from the mid-18th century and probably the later 18th or early 19th century, with the earlier section positioned upslope. It is accompanied by modern garage and conservatory structures. The mill is constructed from rubble stone and features a slate hipped roof, with a rubble corner stack to the northeast and modern small paned windows.

The wheel pit, which is overgrown, contains remnants of two cast iron wheels. The original overshot wheel was supplied with water from a mill pond via a launder, with the leat running to the southwest. The header box has been removed, and a stone wall has been built to block the mill pond. Only the shrouds of the second wheel remain, lying loose in the pit.

The property has been modernised, but the living accommodation is arranged around the surviving machinery of the mill. Original stone wall partitions and floor beams are present, and on the lower floors, there is the hursting for the two sets of machinery. In the upper range, there is an iron pitwheel with fruitwood teeth, an iron wallower, an all-iron great spur, a wooden upright shaft, and two iron-stone nuts with wooden teeth. One set of stones remains in its tun, but only the bedstone of the second pair is left. On the first floor, there is a wooden crown wheel with morticed spokes and an iron band, a wooden lay shaft with a fast and loose pulley, and on the upper floor, the pulley wheel and control levers for the sack hoist. Only the iron pitwheel and parts of the hursting survive from the workings of the lower range.
