Five-bay five-storey former timber and corn mill, built c.1800, now disused. Half-hipped slate roof to mill. Snecked rubble limestone walls. Square-headed openings with cut stone sills to windows. Millrace runs through west end of building, with arches in north and south elevations. Two-bay two-storey former manager's house attached to east with six-bay two-storey late twentieth-century gable-fronted extension with attic storey. Pitched reslated roof, random coursed dressed limestone walls. Square-headed windows and door, with later dormer windows, having two-over-two pane timber sash windows to house. Two-bay lodge with one-bay outbuilding attached at entrance with pitched slate and tile roof, rubble limestone walls and square-headed openings.
This building is a reminder of the industrial heritage of the area and stands at or near the site of a pre-1700 mill. Its size and scale make it an imposing feature in the surrounding countryside. The relatively small and regular windows are typical of mill buildings. The former manager's house and gate lodge contribute to the setting of the building.
