Detached two-storey corn mill on L-shaped plan, built c.1810 and altered c.1900. Restored c.2000 and now in use as a private house. Joint lines along structure indicate that section to south is a later extension. Pitched artificial slate roof with raised rendered verges. Constructed of coursed rubble limestone. Square-headed openings having replacement timber casement windows and timber sheeted doors. Restored cast-iron waterwheel to west side, set into original cast-iron overshot watercourse. Remains of single-storey rubble limestone outbuilding to the southwest having pitched corrugated-iron roof over and square-headed openings. Ruins of a small corn kiln remain to the north and silted-up mill pond to the southeast.
