Situated on sloping ground, two and three storeys. Some hollow-chamfered stone windows with hoodmoulds probably reused from Berry Pomeroy Castle qv. On the north side a three-light hollow-chamfered window with hoodmould with fleuron stops. At the lower end of the mill a wide segmental arched doorway. Lower two-storey wing at right angles to south-west, is a three-window range with slate roof. 18th century fixed-light windows with glazing bars and wooden lintels. Truncated projecting chimney stack at rear (north) of this wing. Interior: at the higher end of the old north range a chamfered ceiling beam and chamfered joists. 19th century house adjoining north may incorporate some earlier material. None of the machinery survives.
