Description
Prioress Mill and Mill Cottage is a building made of roughly squared and coursed local sandstone rubble, featuring some remnants of lime-washing, red brick dressings, and artificial slate roofs. The cottage has two storeys, having been raised from one-and-a-half storeys in 1986, while the mill consists of two storeys and attics. The mill has two parallel ranges with an M-shaped roof, and the cottage is L-shaped, positioned against the right gable end of the mill.
The river elevation, which was originally the entrance, has a central door to the mill flanked by windows and three additional windows above. There are two more windows in the raised section to the right, all of which are 1986 lattice paned casements. The mill features a higher roofline than the cottage and has a chimney on the right gable. The left gable elevation has two casement windows on each floor. A large iron overshot wheel, believed to be from the 19th century, remains in place. The right gable, which was the former miller's house, has been raised to two full storeys and includes a gabled wing with 3-light casements. The main range has a modern entrance door, a plank door with an arched head, a plain door, and a garage door, along with three 2-light casement windows above, all dating to 1986. There is a small ridge stack located in the cross-passage position.
The interior was not available for inspection during the resurvey in November 2000. It is noted that the cottage and the mill were converted into one house in 1986. When the property was listed in 1980, the miller's house was reported to contain a wide stone fireplace, a bread oven, a spiral stone stair with a resting seat halfway up, and a recess in the bedroom for bottles and candles. The mill operated until 1978, so it likely still had its machinery in 1980, although it is unclear what remains of this equipment.
