Statement of Interest

An extensive range of farm buildings is sited to N of the house. The mill (harl-pointed rubble) itself stands to NE and has been much altered in modern times, although it still retains much original fabric. All internal detailing and fittings are no longer in place, as it has been convert in recent times to being a machine shed. The site in 1771 was used for Manderston Mains. By 1857, however, it had reached its present plan and former use as a mill and steading.
