Fortmoy House

Detached multiple-bay three-storey flour mill, built c.1740, having single-storey drying kiln to rear. Pitched slate roof. Rendered rubble limestone walls. Irregularly-spaced square window openings having dressed limestone voussoirs. Dressed limestone voussoirs also to carriage arch and doorway in south elevation. Brick-lined drying kiln to north. Wheel-pit to west gable. Internal machinery and mill stones retained in situ.

This flour mill, out of use since 1904, has been recently restored and converted for use as large apartments, the quality of the original construction having insured the building's survival. Original building material types such as stone and slate have been used and the original proportions of the mill retained. The internal machinery of the mill is almost all of timber and predates the industrialization of the industry. Its survival in such good condition is a rare occurrence.
