By the 1840s, it was part of a group of buildings, which developed into Windmill Farm. Its sails were removed in 1902. The mill machinery was dismantled in about 1952, and the building has since been used for storage. It was grade II listed in 2023. The mill is built of orange-red brick, and has a conical roof in Welsh slate with a lead cap finial. The windmill has a circular plan, it is tapering, and has four storeys.
