The collection of buildings dates from 1783 but incorporate parts of former mill on the same site. It includes a corn mill (originally water powered, five storeys and four bays); miller's house (two storeys); malting kiln (three storeys with a conical roof); granary (four storeys and five bays added 1924).

The mill was originally water powered, the mill-race, taking water from Waren Burn about 1km upstream in the vicinity of Spindlestone Mill, passed through the east end of the complex. It was converted to steam power in 1819. It is thought to have been supplied by coal and corn brought in by sea, with malt and flour leaving by the same route. A turbine eventually replaced the waterwheel and the mill then became powered by electricity.

The mill was closed down c1980 and converted into domestic accommodation c1985.

Some dates in the history of the mill are given on a plaque on the outer wall NU1434 : Plaque in wall, Waren Mill

The King Charles III England Coast Path (ECP) will take advantage of new public rights of access to the coast, to form a 2,800 mile long public path right around England's coasts.

Parts of the path were already open in 2016, and it was intended at that time that the whole path would be completed by 2020. At that time, the path was called the England Coast Path. It was renamed King Charles III England Coast Path in 2023, in honour of the King's coronation.
