Description
Abercynrig Mill is a water-mill and house built from whitewashed rubble stone, topped with modern plain tiles. The building is two storeys high and has an L-shaped plan. The house section features a double-fronted design with large square 15-pane windows of the Brecon hopper type. The upper windows are positioned under the eaves, while the lower ones have oak lintels. There is a board door, also with a timber lintel, flanked by the windows. The left window shows straight joints where a former door was located. To the extreme left, at the angle of the mill, there is a narrow 6-pane window. On the extreme right, a cast iron Victorian letterbox is present. A stone square chimney is located on the right end, and the roughcast right end gable covers a large lean-to made of whitewashed rubble, which features a cambered-headed small 4-pane window on the first floor with a brick head, and a boarded door in the angle to the main house.
The mill section to the left is positioned at right angles and has a whitewashed front west wall. This wall includes a loft door with a timber lintel towards the right, above a broader main door, also with a timber lintel. To the left of the main door is a smaller door, and further left is a small window, both with timber lintels. The north end gable is made of rubble stone and includes one window on each floor. The rear of the building has one upper window and an added ground floor lean-to. The property is not available for inspection.
