Location
Beside former mill race to rear of Nos. 70 and 74 on the main Swansea road.
History
Mill, C19 though probably of earlier origin. Marked on the OS map of 1884 as a flour mill. Now largely remodelled to form a house but retaining water wheel.
Exterior
Remodelled, formerly 2-storey now single long range with new full-height windows with cambered yellow brick heads, 6 bays. Single-storey lean-to under eaves gablet. Rubble walls with dressed quoins, slate roof, eaves, end gables, brick end stacks. Broad iron-framed wooden-spoked overshot water wheel to south elevation, square-headed opening above.
Interior
Not available for inspection.
Reason for designation
Retained on list, notwithstanding remodelling as domestic building, as converted water-mill retaining its water wheel.
