Corner-sited detached multiple-bay two-storey former mill, dated 1866, now disused. L-plan, extended to south, return wing to rear (east). Pitched slate roofs, clay ridge tiles, set behind parapet to front (west), cast-iron downpipes. Flemish bond red brick walling, dressed stone parapet coping, wrought-iron ties with cast-iron pattress plates, date stone. Square-headed window openings, blocked to front, tooled limestone sills, remains of timber windows to east. Blocked square-headed door opening, cut limestone surround comprising pilasters, console brackets and cornice; square-headed door opening at site of weigh bridge, painted timber vertically-sheeted doors. Segmental-headed carriage arch, brick arch, painted timber vertically-sheeted double gates incorporation wicket gate. Fronted onto village green.

This disused flour mill which closed about 1970, remains a landmark structure at the core of Castlebellingham. The cut stone door surround is an interesting feature, appearing at odds simplicity of the remainder of the building.
