A quite unique Grade II listed Watermill, having been extensively renovated over the decades of ownership by the Marston family who acquired the Watermill in 1982. The Watermill comprises a delightful Grade II listed five bedroom Millhouse, as well as an attached Upper Mill which has over the years been a successful holiday let generating a good income. The original Mill building is untouched and still houses most of the original workings, although these are not currently in working condition.
