A genuinely rare Grade II listed former mill with an adjacent three-bedroom miller’s cottage set in c.4 acres of gardens, ancient woodland and paddock. The site is offered for the first time in 56 years and will appeal to buyers seeking a character property with strong conversion and income potential (subject to listed building consent and planning).
The cottage is immediately habitable but requires updating; it already benefits from a solid-fuel Rayburn, a woodburner and full-fibre broadband. The three-storey mill provides large, regular floorplates ideal for conversion into living space, workspace or visitor accommodation — practical possibilities depend on obtaining consents and addressing the building’s repair needs.
Important constraints are factual: the property is Grade II listed which restricts alterations, the mill and some outbuildings need renovation, and the riverside setting brings a medium flood risk with past flooding recorded (2007, 2020, 2024). Two neighbouring landowners hold vehicular rights over the first part of the driveway for agricultural access. Buyers should factor in listed-building consent, flood mitigation and renovation costs.
For buyers prepared to take on restoration — developers, investors, multigenerational families or those seeking a rural tourism venture — this site offers scale, history and biodiversity. The grounds have been chemical-free for over 50 years and support notable wildlife. Practical utilities are in place: mains water and electricity, private drainage and fast broadband.
