The farm buildings on this site, including the mill, were probably built during the 1850s, as they are first mentioned in the Census papers of 1861. The mill is a two-storey, stone built and slate-roofed building oriented north-west to south-east. The lower floor is below ground level, reached by steps to a door at the north-west gable, and by a low door at the south-east gable giving access to the road. The upper floor has a wide double door on the south-west side and two large windows in the north-west facing wall. The composite waterwheel was in a deep pit on the north-east side of the building, fed from a substantial pond to the north-west. A cast iron ring gear attched to the shrouds drove a pinion and shaft to the mill, and a belt drive from the iron axle powered a shaft below the floor of the small building to the north-east, bearing a drive wheel, flywheel and part of a dog clutch. It is thought that this powered a butter churn. No machinery remains within the mill building, which is reported to have ground oats for horses on the farm.
