Description

An unusual and fascinating Grade II Listed detached water mill with origins in the 11th century, situated beside a tributary of the River
Stour on the A31, about 3 miles west of Wimborne town centre and less than 30 minutes from the Jurassic Coast, the port of Poole and
the sand beaches of Bournemouth.
The Domesday Book of 1086 refers to a watermill on the site, and the existing building was mostly constructed in the 18th and 19th centuries
by craftsmen from Poole using materials including ship’s timbers. The arch of one of the waterways bears the inscription of 1714 on its
keystone. Believed to be the oldest and largest mill in Dorset, this charming property extends to over 6,000ft², arranged on 4 levels, and stands in
grounds of almost half an acre. It is steeped in history, and its manifold character features, including the original water wheel, open
fireplaces and a wealth of exposed beams and timbers, would be at home on a film or stage set.
Over the years the mill has been used as a private family home, a garage, a tea room, a restaurant and a bed & breakfast house, and is currently used as a ‘home and income’ premises, incorporating a selfcontained cottage. The property offers endless residential and
commercial possibilities, including multi-generational living.
This attractive, traditionally constructed building has solid red brick walls, and a roof of plain clay tiles (with dormers and 2 brick
chimneys.) It is connected to mains electricity and water, and has private drainage.
The impressive accommodation includes multiple staircases leading to 6 bedrooms, 8 quirky ‘dormitories’, 4 bathrooms and several
cloakrooms.

We are informed the cottage generates between £30-£50,000 a year however it is felt this figure could easily be increased with wider more active marketing.

Wimborne Minster approx. 2.5 miles. Poole Town Centre approx. 6.5 miles. Blandford Forum approx. 8 miles. Bournemouth Town Centre within 10 miles. Bournemouth International Airport approx. 10 miles.
