Detached L-plan multiple-bay two-storey former corn mill, built c. 1800, now disused, with three-storey gables, multiple-bay single-storey pitched slate addition to north-west gable and lean-to corrugated-iron extension to north-east. Pitched slate roofs. Coursed rubble limestone walls with roughly-dressed limestone quoins. Square-headed openings with some double six-over-six timber sliding sash windows, barred to ground floor and some with timber, some with roughly-dressed arched heads. Square-headed opening to ground floor with timber battened double doors.
This substantial former corn mill retains much of its original form and structure. The building serves as a reminder of the area's industrial past and of the steady decline of such local industry spurred on by the technological and social changes of the twentieth century.
