Complete surviving water-driven corn-mill of vernacular character and one of the last in Glamorgan with intact machinery.

Corn-mill and workshop range constructed of rubble stone with single slate roof; small brick chimney on stone base on ridge between the two parts. Two storeys. The mill has two upper 2-light timber windows with shutters and stone sills, the heads under eaves, ground floor small window to right (slightly further right than window above) with thin stone voussoirs to cambered head, stone sill and shutters, and door to left aligned with window above, with boarded stable door and brick head. Door has wrought-iron strap hinges. A narrow opening with timber lintel, stone sill and shutters to ground floor centre may have been for a shaft or pulley, though an iron shaft for a grindstone is simply passed through the wall below and to left of this opening, supported on rubble stone low block. The right end wall has a big overshot waterwheel of some 12' diameter with iron rim and hub, timber spokes and buckets. Loft window above with stone voussoirs.

The longer workshop range has 4 plain long upper windows with late C20 3-light glazing, brick sills and brick sides (in 1989 the glazing was in 6 vertical lights), the heads under eaves, apparently late C19 or early C20. Ground floor has window to left with brick left side, and renewed 3-light glazing, then half-glazed door then centre broad cart-entry with cambered brick head and C20 door-and-sidelight infill, then another door and a small 2-light window. Openings have renewed timber lintels apart from main entry. Mark of a blocked opening over left door. Brick quoins at upper level of W gable end, indicating an added upper storey. W end wall is rendered with lean-to. Rendered rear wall with doors into workshop ranges to left and 3 windows, all at upper level. Window and door to upper floor of mill.
