Watermill and attached house, of medieval origin but mainly early 18th century with a 19th century extension and details. Converted to a restaurant and house in the 20th century. Built of brick in English bond with cambered heads to the older openings. The roof is tiled with stone slates to the lower courses. The main north-south structure of the mill is of two storeys with an attic, and rests on a base of stone walling, pierced by two water channels. The mill was extended at the north end as a timber framed building, with boarded walls above a cart shed open ground floor which is now infilled with brick. The south end contains the house as a crosswing.
