Description

A44027MKE23 - Originally a flour mill, this exceptional property was in the same family for numerous generations. Mid 20th Century, the mill was converted to a hydro-turbine and has been generating its own electricity ever since. It now also makes its own under floor heating.

On the ground floor, the original mill house, has a kitchen, a lounge or bedroom, an office room, and under the mill side of the house, a shower room and WC.

Upstairs is the newer kitchen which makes the most of the original mill features and has a laundry area to the rear, A lounge also has some of the flour mill workings as an unusual feature, and there are three bedrooms, one of an exceptional size, and a modern bathroom.

Above the lounge, a separate room has been fitted out again using some of the mill features and to the other side of the property, a large attic space currently used as a library and for storage.

Outside are various outbuildings, barns and storage areas and the turbine room.

The mill has 100% total water rights. The mill water is a spur off the main stream via a weir which runs totally over the land of the mill and rejoins the main stream at the bottom of the mill land around 100m from the turbine.

supply sufficient electricity to run what was once the flour mill and supplies the house. Although all the interiors/machinery of the flour making process is in place, the flour mill has not been operational for some time.

The turbines do not currently make electricity to sell back to the electricity board but this could be a possibility for the future and there is no need for fish steps to be created.

An exceptional property and viewing is highly recommended.

Please ask the agent for more details.

About Leggett Immobilier, France

La Maison du Chapitre, 24340 La Rochebeaucourt, France

Leggett Immobilier is a family business that was started 20 years ago and founded on the genuine belief that French estate agency could be done better – today this still holds true. Indeed, this belief was validated last year when we were crowned "Best Estate Agency in France" at a prestigious awards ceremony in London.

All of our agents live and work in France and have excellent local knowledge, covering both their area and local property prices. Clients are given a single point of contact who is dedicated to helping them make the right decision and to be by their side throughout the purchase process. Our in-house contracts team are experienced in dealing with local notaires and have overseen the purchase of over €1bn of French property - they will ensure that the sale progresses smoothly and our fully bilingual team will guide you through all legal documentation.

With over 600 agents spread across the country we like to think that we are now the leading international estate agency in France, last year around one in ten of all UK buyers of French property trusted us to help them. However, the company’s size and success has not altered the fact that we are a family business who pride ourselves on professionalism and friendliness.

Local knowledge is invaluable when buying in a foreign country. Leggett provides this knowledge - nearly all of our agents have lived through a move themselves and have been trained to deal with any issue or question that might arise. This training includes a three day, residential, course, further "advanced" training and access to our head office team who keep abreast of all changes in French property law and legislation.

It is this, unique, “hand-holding” approach that has helped build the foundations of our company. No other agency in France takes such care of a client before, during and after a property is purchased.

The system for buying a property in France can be complex but is regarded as being one of the safest in the world – the French like "red tape" but not much surprises us now.

With over 20 years of experience, we have the knowledge to aid with legal matters, help with finance, and even ensure that you have all the essential services connected when you make the move to your new home.

Leggett Immobilier - local knowledge you can trust.
