A truly exceptional Grade II listed former water mill, dating back to circa 1625 and recognised as the oldest surviving water mill in Derbyshire. The Water Mill has been sympathetically converted into a substantial and highly distinctive residence, seamlessly blending rich historical significance with luxurious modern living.
The kitchen and dining area is thoughtfully designed, providing a natural hub for everyday living and social gatherings, with direct access out to the patio, perfect for indoor-outdoor entertaining. The kitchen itself is well-appointed and sits above the site of the original brick kiln, once used to dry grain, offering a fascinating connection to the building’s past.

This remarkable home offers five beautifully appointed bedrooms and six bathrooms, complemented by generous living and entertaining spaces. Retaining an abundance of original features, including exposed stonework, oak beams, and preserved mill machinery, the property presents a rare opportunity to own a genuine piece of living history.

Ascending to the first floor, you arrive at the principal living space, an inviting and atmospheric setting that forms the heart of the home. The main living room showcases exposed beams and original mill elements, offering ample space for both relaxation and entertaining.
Additional spaces include a cosy snug and a conveniently positioned study, ideal for home working or quieter moments.

The ground floor of this remarkable home is both unique and characterful, with a layout that reflects its historic origins. The front door opens directly into a welcoming lounge, where a full-height observatory provides a striking view into the original inner workings of the water mill, an exceptional feature where historic machinery is seamlessly integrated into everyday living.
The observatory itself remains a true focal point, offering a rare and captivating vantage over the preserved mill workings an extraordinary space that beautifully captures the heritage and story of the building.

Externally, the home enjoys private patio areas and beautifully landscaped surroundings, alongside the unique feature of two restored overshot waterwheels, still powered by the adjacent mill pond. Positioned on the edge of the Peak District National Park and set within circa 10 acres, this is a home that delivers both lifestyle and legacy in equal measure.
The grounds also incorporate original millstones within the landscaping, thoughtfully preserved to celebrate the site’s rich heritage.
In addition, there is an extensive parking area, offering excellent potential for garaging or equestrian use, subject to the necessary planning permissions.
