Oxnead Mill is a rare riverside home combining historic character with substantial living space and versatile outbuildings. The Grade II listed four‑storey mill and adjoining period house sit in about 3.5 acres of formal gardens, meadows and direct River Bure frontage, offering privacy, mature trees and abundant wildlife. The main house provides generous reception rooms, a kitchen/breakfast room, indoor swimming pool and a self‑contained annexe, suitable for guests, family or rental income.
The property includes a working water turbine supplying renewable energy and extends to approximately 8,250 sq ft overall, creating scope for adaptable use. The mill itself presents exceptional potential for conversion or commercial use (subject to planning), continuing its history of events and specialist displays. For a buyer seeking a landmark home with character, the site offers an inspiring base and long‑term value opportunities.
Buyers should note practical and regulatory constraints. The mill’s Grade II listing will limit alterations and may complicate development or conversion plans. The main house has solid brick walls (assumed uninsulated), secondary glazing, oil‑fired central heating and an Energy Performance Certificate rated F. Services include mains electricity but private water and drainage. Council tax is high and ongoing maintenance for historic fabric, large grounds and the pool will be significant.
This house will suit a downsizer or buyer who values heritage, riverside tranquillity and space, and who accepts the responsibilities of a listed property: ongoing maintenance, conservation requirements and potential planning hurdles. With careful planning the site rewards with a unique country lifestyle and long‑term opportunity for enhancement.
