At one stage two dwellings, now a single property, although the left hand part appeared to be currently unoccupied. The right hand part appears from old maps to have housed the mill itself, the tailrace exiting roughly where the door is and crossing the field to the right. This had clearly been filled in by around 1900 and there is no trace on the ground now. It seems likely that it was converted to a house at about that time. late 18th/ 19th century, Listed Grade II. The slightly beaten track passing from the viewpoint to the right of the house is part of the Hereward Way.
