Rearsby Mill is a historic Grade II listed watermill from 1815, nestled on a generous 6.19-acre plot along the serene River Wreake. Spanning over 4,400 sq. ft. across three levels, this property features six bedrooms—including two with en suite bathrooms—and four adaptable reception rooms that showcase original charm and character. The outbuildings present an opportunity for conversion into additional living spaces (subject to planning consent), while the extensive grounds contain stables and paddocks, ripe for landscaping or developing new facilities for both leisure and modern family needs.
Although beautifully situated, the current use of the land leaves ample potential for enhancement: whether transforming it into formal gardens, equestrian areas, or other imaginative uses that reflect contemporary lifestyles. The interiors maintain historical elements such as exposed mill workings and classic fireplaces, but modernization could further elevate comfort and functionality.
The ground floor includes a grand reception hall featuring oak flooring and a log burner, leading to charming living spaces ideal for both intimate gatherings and larger celebrations. The farmhouse kitchen is equipped with granite surfaces and an Aga stove, though future upgrades could add even more value.
The first floor boasts an outstanding principal suite with unique architectural details, supplemented by additional bedrooms offering versatility for family life or guest accommodation. The second floor features two more double bedrooms providing privacy and independence.
Outside, the property is approached via a sweeping driveway accented by a pond and offers extensive parking along with a double garage. The rich landscape includes vegetable gardens, riverside lawns, and several tranquil spots perfect for relaxation or recreation. Additional structures like playrooms or storage also hold promise for development into independent living quarters pending regulatory approval.
Located in Ratcliffe on the Wreake—a quaint village that boasts convenient access to Leicester and Loughborough—this property embodies not only historical significance but exceptional investment potential as well.
