Appraisal
An interesting complex of a house and small mill building, both retaining their historic character. The house has typical vernacular features, including the off-centre doorway, and a curious lattice window. The mill has irregular fenestration. A horse-powered mill was used in the structure for milling corn during the late eighteenth and early nineteenth centuries and adds to the significance of the property.
