- Riverside plot with private waterfall; huge, terraced gardens

A rare 1800s water-mill conversion set beside Castle Beck, The Old Corn Mill blends historic character with generous family living. The house offers exposed timbers, vaulted ceilings and large windows that frame the landscaped gardens and the property's own waterfall — a peaceful, private setting for everyday life or entertaining.
Accommodation is flexible: four double bedrooms (three en suites), expansive reception spaces on the first floor with a gas stove, and a fitted kitchen-diner that opens to a raised patio. Practical features include a utility room, detached double garage and a broad driveway with ample parking — useful for family vehicles and visitors.
Buyers should note important constraints: the building is Grade II listed, so alterations will be restricted and may be costly. The property lies in a high flood-risk area adjacent to the beck; owners must maintain appropriate insurance and consider flood mitigation. The sandstone/limestone walls are likely uninsulated, heating runs on LPG and the EPC is D, so ongoing running costs and fabric improvements should be expected.
Other practical points: broadband speeds are very slow despite excellent mobile signal, and council tax is high. For buyers seeking a distinctive country family home with huge grounds, waterside character and strong transport links to Carlisle and Newcastle, this offers unique appeal — provided you accept listed-building responsibilities and flood considerations.
