What is recorded here

Detached three-bay two-storey former miller's house, built c. 1810, now disused. Hipped slate roof with brick chimneystacks and terracotta ridge tiles. Roughcast rendered walls. Square-headed six-over-six pane timber sliding sash windows with tooled limestone sills. Square-headed door opening with paned overlight and timber battened door. Remains of watermill and former millrace with culverts to south of site.
This miller's house forms part of an interesting group of milling structures, with the nearby watermill, mill race and culverts. This building is typical of modest-sized houses of this era with centrally-placed chimneystacks and a regular symmetrical façade. The subtly diminishing windows emphasises the vertical thrust of the building which counteracts the horizontal of the roofline. The house retains its original form and structure including timber sash windows with tooled limestone sills and decorative overlight to entrance.
