The mill has been incorporated in a building steading to the S of the farmhouse. No machinery survives, but there is a large kiln to the rear. On the S side of the steading, above a wide doorway, there is a stone dated 1746. The sluice system has been removed by opencast workings. Lassodie Mill is depicted on the 1st edition of the OS 6-inch map (Fife & Kinross, 1856, sheet 30) as a corn mill. The farmhouse at Lassodie Mill is situated on rising ground to the N of the Lochfitty Burn. It is of two principal periods of construction, the eastern half being the earlier with a marriage stone above the door bearing the date 1730 and the initials M and EM (the farmer suggests that the name was Moody).
