Property - The property is an imposing detached former water mill with an abundance of character and exposed period features. Of particular note is the stunning vaulted second floor living space.
The property straddles two counties with the mill and its immediate land being in Mid-Suffolk and the balance of its land across the rive in South Norfolk. There is enormous potential within the mill as the ground floor is currently used for storage but could be converted subject to the necessary permissions. The land has extensive river frontage and provides a haven for wildlife and a dramatic picturesque setting worthy of a John Constable landscape.

There is an entrance hall and four double bedrooms, each with exposed brickwork and timbers, a bathroom and an additional w.c. Stairs lead down to the ground floor which is set into store rooms currently. The principal staircase rises to the upper floors which is dominated by a stunning vaulted living space with superb views and exposed timbers. Off the living room is a dining room again with superb views and a kitchen. The top floor consists of a further double bedroom with shower and w.c. There is a galleried study area overlooking the living space.
