the water mill - for sale

WELCOME

The Water Mill is a stunning Grade II conversion, located on the edge of the Peak National Park. Our cottage provides luxurious comfort with unique historical features, including an Observatory overlooking the c.1625 Mill workings! The Water Mill is truly the perfect retreat to relax and unwind in.

A UNIQUE HISTORY

The Water Mill is one of the four unique homes that make up Bradbourne Mill, which is known as the oldest surviving water mill in Derbyshire. An Okeover Charter confirms that the site dates back to circa 1180, with Sir Geoffrey de Cauceis, the great grandson of Henry de Ferrers, as the land owner at that time.
