The overshot waterwheel and most of the machinery has gone. Three of the grinding stones are believed to be in the building. The mill building is detached from the residence. It is a two storey building constructed of stone, the roof being partly covered with corrugated iron; there are triple pantiles on the back addition. It is all in a very dilapidated condition. The leat is 4 feet wide but dry. The mill house appears to be an old building, and in resonable condition. In the garden there is a well from which the villagers once obtained their water supply.
The millstones now form the gateposts.

Now a private residence with no remains of the mill. Two millstones flank the entrance of the house and footpath. There is an old wall in the side garden where the wheel would have been positioned. The roof of the barn which possibly housed the mill machinery collapsed recently, although three walls still stand. The mill house has been extended beyond recognition. The leat is now dry.
