Description
The Forge is a single-storey and attic building, originally part of a row of industrial structures that included a forge, woollen mill, woodturner’s workshop, and tanner. The building is constructed of rubble and has been whitewashed on the gable end, topped with a slate roof.
On the gable end, there is one window, another window that has been blocked, and a doorway that has been bricked up. The left side features cambered headed openings, while the right side has one such opening with a studio window beyond. The building adjoins a mill structure at its far end.
Additionally, there is a broken overshot waterwheel positioned against the gable end.

The Forge sits in one of the wettest parts of the UK, with an average of 1,240 mm of rain a year. This makes it wetter than 92% of listed buildings in the UK. Its exposure to wind-driven rain is greater than that of 93% of listed buildings.
It experiences an average of 21 freeze-thaw cycles a year, fewer than 78% of listed buildings. Of these, 9 follow at least 1 mm of rain in the preceding 48 hours. Average temperatures at this location have risen by 0.3°C per decade since 1991.
