grit, stone slate roof. 2 storeys, 3 lst-floor windows. Quoins. Door

4 and 8 lights (1 light blocked), on lst floor of 2, 4 and 2 lights; many
of the mullions replaced (from elsewhere in the building). Ridge stack

roof replaced by glazed pent roof (tablestones of original roof in wall).
1st floor: above wheel-chamber two 2-light windows and one of 1 light.
Centrel door, now glazed, which formerly led on to bridge across sluice.
To right, a 2-light window. Left return: on right 2 plain-stone-surround

Right return: a 4-light window to ground floor with two 2-light windows

is a channel, formerly the sluice; in the garden are the pond, which provided
the head of water, and the overflow channel. The building was converted
to 2 cottages in 1880 (deeds), probably at the time of building a new mill
lower down the hillside (on the mill pond).
