Detached L-plan corn mill, built c.1780, comprising three-bay five-storey block with three-bay four-storey block attached to rear, north side and having multiple-bay two-storey block attached to west. Scar of former two-storey with attic block to east end of front block. Half-hipped corrugated-iron roof to front block, hipped to rear block, pitched to west block and with eaves course to higher blocks. Rubble limestone walls, roughcast rendered most of front and part of rear of structure. Square-headed openings with cast-iron lattice windows and some timber sliding sash windows, all with limestone sills. Timber battened doors, including integral carriage arch to front elevation. Remains of chutes from openings to west elevation Timber water-wheel to east end of lowest block. Former miller's house is three-bay two-storey with pitched slate roof. Outbuildings and remains of mill race to site.

This former mill is an imposing structure in the surrounding landscape. It is of particular interest due to the survival of the mill wheel and mill race, as they act as physical reminders of the power sources employed to drive mills in the past. The robust form of the building is emphasized by the roughcast walls and small windows. The building retains many interesting features and materials, including the cast-iron windows and chutes. The setting of the building is enhanced by the survival of the related outbuildings and former miller's house.
