Full Description
Former waulkmill with associated pond and drying green, now converted to residential use. The original mill on this site dates to 1783, but the present building is probably 19th century in date. It is shown on the 1st edition OS map as a rectangular-plan building. There is a pond to the south-west with a mill lade leading from the pond to the mill building and joining South Ugie Water to the north-east. On the 2nd edition OS map the building has been extended to L-plan and the pond has been extended. The former mill building is a rubble-built, single-storey and attic L-plan building, entered at attic level from the road. An enclosed 15 feet x 3 feet (4.5 metres x 0.9 metres) overshot wheel remains.
