Built on the site of a mill that awas demolished in 1739. Flanking the two corn store buildings is a six-bay, two-storey link building, c. 1850, which encloses the courtyard to the east, shared with adjacent corn store, and now in separate ownership. Pitched sheet metal roof with concrete coping and plastic rainwater goods. Parapet wall conceals roof structure over six-bay section.
