Farmstead and former lint mill. The mill dates from the 17th century, with 18th century alterations and was converted to a dwellinghouse circa 1985. It is a 2-storey and loft, 3-bay L-plan building. Built of rubble, with tooled rubble dressings and a modern pantile roof. The 3-bay W elevation has a projecting wide gabled bay at the right with large modern ground floor opening now infilled with multi-pane glazing and French windows. There is a raised first floor entrance at the rear approach by a footbridge oversailing the former lade, and a tooled ashlar wheel gable in the east elevation. The mill is divided from the neighbouring farm by a rubble garden wall in the centre of which projects the canted rear of a garden house. The mill was used as a cattle shelter (when the large entrance was probably made) until converted to a house in the 1980s. The farmstead to the south is shown on the OS 1st edition map comprising a U-plan steading open to the east with a rectangular building on the east side of the court, and an L-plan range at its northeast corner. To the east is a mill dam, and to the west of the steading a walled garden. The layout is essentially unchanged on the 2nd edition map although the building on the east side of the court has since been removed.
