Early C19, replacing corn-mill on the site. Used for both corn and cloth
in C19. Now converted to dwelling. Coursed rubble with corrugated iron
roof and end chimneys. Slight break in centre and other evidence in roof
indicates that it was planned as a symmetrical rectangular block of 11
bays with central full height pedimented break and may have been intended
to have an extra storey. Later, mainly brick accretions.
South front 2 storeys, 2+3 windows to right. Later lean-to with 3 ground
floor windows to left, 2 windows with covered steps to far left. Original
windows segment headed with casements. Roughly central door with cusped
arch opening over.
Three storeys to north with later mainly brick lean-to extensions marking
the elevation. Note door on ground floor in the chamfered frame of a
possibly C18 window. Arched and rusticated main doorways concealed by
these accretions. External wheel on east gable end.
