About this property
Beautiful 16th Century Working Water Mill Set in Orchard with Lambs and Chickens. Coast 4 miles, Bridport 5 miles. Dogs not permitted
Enjoy the gentle sound of water turning the wheel of Dorset's only functional water mill which still uses all the original machinery. It can be viewed working upon request to the owner. Beamed throughout (6 footers beware), it has been restored sympathetically to create a warm and inviting atmosphere with historic mill artefacts at every turn. Quietly located on an unmade track within a 7.5 acre small holding, it is surrounded by fields and hills. A large shared orchard with swings and a slide (use at own risk) mill stream has a private decked seating area with BBQ beside the millpond - children must be supervised. An adjacent field with village views can also be used. Ample parking.
