Central bay is a projecting staircase tower under a stone-coped gable with windows in the sides and a clock face on the south and east. To the right is a 2-storey, former water turbine house, original mill's power source. Added to left is a 4-storey 2-bay beam engine house with semi-circular headed windows served by 2, one-storey boiler houses.
