Historic mill conversion for sale in Warwickshire
A unique mill conversion, complete with its original tower, mill workings and giant cogwheel, is for sale in the Warwickshire countryside.
Aptly named The Mill, the building was originally constructed in 1780 and served as a prisoner of war camp during World War One. Known as 'Bouncing Bess', the Mill ceased operations in 1918 and was privately purchased.
Under its current ownership, the property – which was in Rightmove's top five most viewed homes in February – has been transformed through modern furnishings, meticulous interior design, and state-of-the-art amenities.
Divided into six separate circular buildings, noteworthy features include solid oak wooden flooring, exposed brick walls, log burners, four ensuite bedrooms, spiral staircases, and a characterful Pedini kitchen with Corian marble effect worktops and Siemens appliances. Each room is decorated in a modern rustic style, combining traditional with contemporary touches.
Meanwhile, steps from the kitchen lead down to the formal dining room. Perfect for entertaining, the space is complete with wooden floors and three sets of French doors that open onto the glorious gardens. Completing this floor is the impressive drawing room, featuring high ceilings, a roaring fire and views of the gardens.
The Mill is surrounded by beautiful, well-tended gardens. Perfectly positioned for alfresco dining, highlights include a sun terrace that wraps around the property, an outdoor bar equipped with power and lighting, and adjoining paddock land that offers south and westerly views from the rear. The exterior also benefits from electrical points and a high-end CCTV system for privacy.
Hamptons estate agents describe it as a 'superb mill conversion' providing modern living within a piece of history: 'The present owners have devoted attention to detail, presenting a beautifully appointed home. Each room is thoughtfully designed, contributing to a residence of immense appeal, warmth, and character.'
This property is currently on the market for £1,950,000 with Hamptons.
