Appraisal
This L-plan former mill office looks into the disused mill yard at Belmont. With smooth render to walls and channelled quoins, the structure projects an interesting architectural character. Two-over-two timber sash windows and terracotta chimneypots mark this mill associated building as a notable feature in the local landscape.
