This former steam mill has been converted into a unique family home with period features dating back to the 19th century.

The Old Mill, on Waterston Road near Hazel Beach, was built in the 1800s and was a grinding mill powered by steam.

The £1,250,000 mill, which has four storeys and sits in four acres of grounds, has been recently renovated and retains many of its original features.

With exposed stonework, original beams, and a wooden staircase, the character of this historical building remains despite its modernisation.

Several of the windows in the property are bespoke stained glass, and the first floor features a Juliet balcony looking out over the grounds.

On the ground floor is a spacious entrance hall leading to a kitchen/dining room, a bedroom, bathroom and a utility room, as well as the impressive staircase.

The first floor contains two more bedrooms and an open plan living room, kitchen and dining area, while the second floor boasts a further two living rooms, a bathroom and a study.

The property has been brought to the market by Fine & Country estate agents.

Daniel Thomas of Fine & Country commented: “The Old Mill is an imposing property that dates back to the 19th century.

“The more recent renovations have been sympathetic to the age and character of this historic property while still making it a comfortable home in a remarkable location.”
