Detached five-bay two-storey mill, built c.1850, with two-bay lean-to structure to west side of southern bays. Now disused. Pitched slate roof with clay ridge tiles over three bays, replacement corrugated-iron roof over south bays. Coursed flat-stone masonry blocks with hammer dressed roughly formed block-and-start quoins, stone eaves corbel, cement render to lean-to building. Window and door openings with stone lintels and cut-stone sills. Sheeted timber doors and window shutters. Cast-iron and timber mill wheel in situ to south gable with some timber blades surviving. Breastshot or undershot water wheel arrangement. Mill stone stored in lean-to building. Detached building to east having roughly coursed-stone walls, cut-stone quoins, rendered barges, and recent corrugated iron roof.

A building of simple form with a robust construction suited to its utilitarian purpose as a mill. It retains its original form, materials, historic mill wheel, and a mill stone. The survival of the mill wheel in situ is particularly noteworthy. It is an important part of the architectural, industrial, and agricultural heritage of the county.
