Description

A Grade II* listed water mill built in 1819 and restored in 2004, standing in about 7.9 acres (3.2 hectares) of water meadows and arable land. It has over 4,000 sq ft (over 370 sq m) of accommodation, a central mill room that still holds its original 1819 machinery, and a solar array with a Tesla battery.

The house

The main rooms include a drawing room, a bespoke kitchen and the central mill room. Details include Norfolk stone tiles, an Adam-style stone fireplace and a glass floor that reveals the mill race and wheel beneath. There is a triple-aspect sunroom, and the layout includes several wings that could suit self-contained multi-generational living.

Energy

The 35-panel solar array is G99 compliant, produces up to 13 kWh and generates an average of 9,000 kWh a year. It is supported by a Tesla Powerwall 2, a Tesla Gateway 2 and a Generation 3 Tesla electric vehicle charger.

The attic

The third-floor attic is a substantial space. A formal architectural feasibility study sets out options for turning it into a cinema, playroom or art studio in a way that respects the historic fabric.
