Remains of watermill and former millrace with culverts to south of site.
Appraisal
This miller's house forms part of an interesting group of milling structures, with the nearby watermill, mill race and culverts. This building is typical of modest-sized houses of this era with centrally-placed chimneystacks and a regular symmetrical façade. The subtly diminishing windows emphasises the vertical thrust of the building which counteracts the horizontal of the roofline. The house retains its original form and structure including timber sash windows with tooled limestone sills and decorative overlight to entrance.
