Rubble, painted white to N, E and W; ashlar cooping to principal skews. Gabled block running N-S.single storey to N, 2-storey to S, containing mill and grain store; shaft opening of former water wheel evident to S with grain store window in gablehead; tall door on higher ground to S, leading to grain store with gablehead window. lean-to additions to E and W elevations with catslide roofs; further gabled addition running E-W to E elevation, with wide machinery slapping in gable end, brick jambs. Fixed small-pane windows in ruinous condition; stable door to grain store. Graded grey slates to principal roofs, corrugated asbestos to E-W workshop.
