Description
The early nineteenth century, west-facing single-storey range of farm buildings is contiguous and in line with Nant Farmhouse (NPRN 16580). It is built of granite rubble with a gabled slate roof. Abutting the service range of the farmhouse is a stable with three boxes. Next is a mill room with remnants of gearing; it is beleived that this housed a gorse mill, now removed. An overshot waterwheel with wooden buckets remains in situ in a separate cross-chamber; it was fed from a millpond to the east, and the tailrace is culverted under the farmyard. To the south is the barn with threshing floor and a long shaft driven by the waterwheel, with pulleys formerly driving threshing and winnowing machines.
