Former mill smithy at Colliston Mill, built in 1840, now in residential use. It was originally made of two main buildings, one to the East and one to the West of the road. The Eastern building has since been demolished. On the 1st edition OS map, it is depicted as an L-plan building to the East, and a rectangular building across the road to the West, with two projecting bays on the North-West elevation. A well is shown to the South, and two outbuildings to the South-West. On the 2nd edition OS map, the L-plan building to the East has been extended to the East, creating a T-plan building, and a new L-plan building has been built to the North, with an enclosure off its South end. The outbuildings to the West of the Western building have gone, but there is a new rectangular building to the South-West. The well is no longer depicted. The six-inch OS map published in 1926 shows a further rectangular building directly to the South-East of the original L-plan building to the West. The 2008 images shows that only the L-plan building remained of the buildings to the East of the road, and it was in poor repair. The East-West wing of the original L-plan smithy was a single-storey, three-bay rectangular rubble-built building with a central entrance in the South-facing elevation and a slate roof. The North/South wing was built from a different, redder, stone. It was slightly lower, and also had a slate roof. By 2015, this building had been demolished. The building to the West has had various extensions and alterations, and there is now an extension to the West creating an L-plan building, with a large porch to the West of the South elevation. The gable ends show the rubble construction, but other elevations are harled. The original building and porch are gabled, and the extension to the West has a piended roof. All the roofs are slate. There are various garden outbuildings to the North, and it appears to be in residential use.
