Itteringham

Set in the picturesque Norfolk countryside, Itteringham Mill is a home of immense character and charm. This stunning historic property has been lovingly restored to provide modern living with a perfect blend of period features and sustainable design. The original mill, dating back to the early 18th century, has been transformed into a spacious and light-filled home, with over 4,500 sq. ft. of beautifully designed living space across three floors.

The thoughtful refurbishment, which won awards for its sustainable design, includes cutting-edge systems, such as a water-sourced heat pump and underfloor heating. Inside, you’ll find an inviting atmosphere where traditional stone tiles, a wood-burning stove, and the re-purposed millstone combine seamlessly with contemporary touches, creating a space ideal for both relaxing and entertaining.

The heart of the home is the kitchen and dining area, where floor-to-ceiling windows offer sweeping views over the tranquil mill pool. This spacious, sociable area is perfect for hosting gatherings, while the separate office and cloakroom offer added convenience. With six double bedrooms, each with its own en suite bathroom, there’s plenty of room for family and guests. The principal suite is particularly impressive, with a dressing room and private sitting area.

Adding to the allure of Itteringham Mill are two self-contained cottages, perfect for guests, family, or as a potential rental opportunity. Both cottages offer comfortable living spaces with modern kitchens, dining areas, and generously sized bedrooms.

The grounds are a true highlight, spanning four acres (stms) of beautifully landscaped gardens, including a wildflower meadow, a charming island garden bursting with colour, and a collection of mature specimen trees. The tranquil setting is further enhanced by the gentle flow of the River Bure, which meanders through the property, creating a private and peaceful retreat. There’s ample parking, including designated spaces for the cottages, and a versatile outbuilding ideal for use as a studio or workshop.

Locally, the area’s natural beauty extends beyond the property, offering a lifestyle enriched by outdoor pursuits. Fishing and wild swimming in the mill pond are cherished pastimes, while nature reserves and renowned birdwatching spots draw wildlife enthusiasts from near and far.

Itteringham Mill is more than a home—it’s a piece of history, thoughtfully re imagined for modern living. With its seamless blend of character, sustainability, and contemporary comfort, this remarkable property presents a rare opportunity—whether as a cherished family home, an idyllic rural retreat, or an exceptional investment in one of Norfolk’s most sought-after locations.
