Longhill Mill, incorporating The Barley Mill, is an exceptional Grade ‘A’ listed former mill house which has been thoughtfully converted into a truly beautiful home. Nestled in a highly sought-after location to the north of Lhanbryde, on the edge of the historic Innes Estate, the property enjoys a tranquil rural setting surrounded by rolling farmland, while remaining easily accessible to the village, the A96, and the stunning Moray coastline.  Dating back to 1733 and rebuilt after a fire in 1891, the mill underwent a sympathetic and comprehensive conversion in 2003, resulting in a residence that perfectly blends period character with modern comfort. The current owners have continued to upgrade the property and add their stylish touch whilst retaining original features such as exposed timber beams, grain hoppers, and millstones, continuing to create a home rich in history and charm. The Barley Mill annex has operated as a thriving business for the past five years, attracting numerous repeat bookings and building a loyal customer base.

Accommodation:  Approached via the original mill lade and passing the beautifully restored water wheel, the front door opens into a welcoming ground-floor lobby. From here, doors lead to a spacious double bedroom and a versatile shower room/utility. A staircase rises to the first floor, where a bright and airy kitchen-dining space awaits, complete with a multifuel Rangemaster and ample room for a large dining table seating eight or more.  Beyond the kitchen lies a generous lounge featuring exposed beams and original mill workings, which flows into a sun-filled garden room offering panoramic views. Two further double bedrooms open onto recently refurbished timber balconies through elegant French doors. The principal suite boasts an en-suite shower room and dressing area, while the second bedroom benefits from an en-suite WC. Completing this level is a stylish bathroom with a roll-top bath and a separate shower.  The Barley Mill, accessed from the front lobby, is a highly versatile annex that can be seamlessly integrated into the main accommodation or used independently as a self-contained unit—ideal for holiday lets, a guest suite, or Airbnb. This charming space includes a spacious sitting room with distinctive arrow-slit windows overlooking the original gearing house, a well-equipped dining kitchen with integrated appliances and its own rear access, plus two generously sized double bedrooms, each with en-suite facilities.

Grounds:  Set within approximately 0.96 acres, the grounds are as impressive as the house itself. They include mature gardens with extensive lawns, well-stocked borders, a well-appointed orchard with raised vegetable beds with built in irrigation system and timer. There is a timber garage with adjoining workshop. A magnificent summer house with wooden decking, a pergola draped with vines and string lighting, a stone firepit, space for a hot tub with the required 32A power supply, external plug sockets and water.
