Itteringham Mill is a rare, characterful water mill sympathetically restored to offer more than 4,300–4,500 sq ft of flexible living across three floors. The refurbishment won awards for sustainability and includes advanced renewables — a water‑sourced heat pump, solar PV and hot water, hydro turbine, 15kW battery storage and an EV charging point — reducing running costs and carbon footprint compared with a typical rural house of this size. Large industrial windows, high ceilings and exposed mill features create bright, dramatic principal spaces, while a principal suite with dressing room and private sitting area adds genuine family comfort.
The estate sits in about four acres (stms) of landscaped grounds with a mill pool, wildflower meadow, specimen trees, river frontage and a separate outbuilding. Two self‑contained cottages and generous parking increase the property’s appeal for extended family living or income potential from holiday or long‑let accommodation. Onsite services include mains water and electricity plus private drainage via newly installed Graf treatment plants.
There are important practical considerations: the remote village location means no mobile signal and slow broadband, which will affect remote working and streaming. The house is of solid brick construction (pre‑1900) with assumed limited wall insulation, so although low‑carbon systems help, fabric improvement may be needed for maximum comfort or efficiency. Council Tax sits at Band G and overall running costs and maintenance for a large historic property should be expected.
This property suits buyers seeking a distinctive rural home with strong sustainability credentials and flexible income potential — families wanting space and principal rooms that entertain well, or buyers who value historic character and are prepared for the responsibilities of maintaining a large, historic estate in a remote setting.
