Each end are mid/late C19 timber panelled pilasters with large brackets carved as acanthus scroll consoles to the fascia which is carried round the base of the first-floor oriel. Bowed oriel, flat-roofed with timber modillion cornice and now contains C20 casement windows. Second floor has two C20 casements without glazing bars. Timber modillion cornice to parallel roof which contains front gabled dormer window. INTERIOR: Ground-floor partitions removed and plaster stripped to reveal C19 joisting and stone walls with plain fireplaces under brick segmental arches. Original stick-baluster stair.

The mill pool was filled in and developed around 1820-30, although houses were built along the Foss from the C17 onwards.
