Coursed squared stone, slate and stone slate roofs. 2 storeys, approx 18 bays with added slightly higher 4-window range at east end.

INTERIOR: not inspected. The west end housed the gas plant (the main range was gas lit from 1809) and the cast-iron roof trusses were part of the effort to make the mill as fireproof as possible. Engine shed attached to east end of north side: the pair of basket arches were at each end of a shed at Esholt Sewerage works, built c1895 and rebuilt here c1985.
