Cadw's description
Location
At the north end of Llanrhidian village, to west of the millpond.

An early C19 miller's house, probably contemporary with the Lower Mill built in 1803.

The house stands with its east gable a short distance from the mill pond. Three-window front elevation with central door. The upper windows are of sash type with six panes, with the eaves forming the heads. The lower windows are taller, also of sash type, with twelve panes and segmental brick arches.
