Water mill and miller's house. Early C19 with later alterations. Cob on stone
footings and brick, plastered and pinkwashed; gabled-end slate roofs. The miller's
house to left comprises 2 adjacent parallel ranges that lie at right angles and
project forward from the mill itself to the right. This contains a drying room and
ovens to treat the malt which was processed here, and is served by an overshot water
wheel to the right-hand end. C19 openings, 2 to gable wall and first floor of the
wheel end, single and 2-light windows to the front, with a delivery hatch to first

house range nearest to the mill is probably the original, partly of cob, but much
repaired in brick; horned sash windows and C20 single-light casement windows. The
other range, of 3 storeys, pantiled porch; horned sash windows.
