Cruck-framed cottage encased in limestone with pantile roof. Mill roughly dressed sandstone with tooled dressings; pantile roof and brick stack. Cottage: 2 storeys, 3 bays and added projecting left bay. Entrance at rear in altered outshut. Large-pane horizontal-sliding sashes with timber lintels, 3-light to ground floor and 2-light to first floor. Double garage doors beneath elliptical arch in left bay, with C20 window above. Interior: one full cruck truss with saddle apex divides the cottage into 2 bays. Mill: bridge type. 2 storeys and attic, 2 wide bays, irregular fenestration. Partly renewed stable door to left, beneath tripartite herringbone-tooled-and-margined lintel with keystone bearing a shield in relief, inscribed: 1819 IS Right renewed board door beneath similar lintel, partly rendered. Semicircular wheel arch to right of centre. Left-of-centre 2-light, 12-pane window, partly shuttered. On first floor a single 2-light, large-pane horizontal-sliding sash. 2 small square shuttered attic windows. Coped gables and shaped kneelers. Left end stack. Rear: plank door to left, beneath herringbone-tooled tripartite lintel. Off-centre wheel arch. 3-light, large-pane horizontal-sliding sash to first floor. Square shuttered openings to loft. Right return: blocked opening above water level probably for wheel axle of earlier mill. Interior: partly reconstructed undershot, clasp-arm wheel of timber with original timber axle. Original square main shaft, chamfered with run-out stops, rises through first floor to floor of attic. Iron wallower and spur wheel survive. The site of one pair of under-driven stones is visible on the first floor. Before 1713, the mill was owned by Thomas Marshall of Aislaby Hall (qv), who became Lord Mayor of York.
