Possible former fulling mill. Site occupied since 1646, probably rebuilt mid C19. Squared, coursed limestone rubble and ashlar dressings, gable stack and double Roman tile roof. Single-depth plan. Tudor Revival style. 2 storeys and attic; 1-window range. Built across the stream with 2 shallow segmental brick arches; N elevation has a large central 3-light stone-mullioned and transomed window extending below the ground floor, with segmental-arched heads, sunken spandrels and a label mould; similar mullion window to the second floor, the outer light blocked, small glazing bars to the middle ones. S elevation has a similar first-floor mullion window, a central second-floor segmental-arched window with ashlar surround, and a small paired right-hand window with round-arches. The entrance gable is coped, with a flight of steps up to the raised ground floor, a plain ashlar surround to a segmental-arched doorway, and 3-light first- and second-floor 4-centre-arched windows, the outer ones blocked. To the left of the steps, a blocked round-arched opening to the space beneath the mill. 4 decorative wrought-iron ties. INTERIOR: details include a dogleg stair to the left of the entrance, with internal stud partitions forming small rooms, one full-width room to the house end, and a ladder up to the attic, with a trussed roof with wide boards and a plank ridge. An interesting example of a small water-powered site, with considerable architectural interest, and group value with Quemerford Mill (qv). (Wiltshire Buildings Record: Trowbridge: 1991-).
