Nestled in a tranquil valley, this substantial detached former water mill dating back to the mid-18th century presents an exciting opportunity for renovation and investment. Spanning approximately 3,254 sq ft over four floors, the property boasts versatile accommodation and is surrounded by natural beauty, including woodland and flowing water. The site features unique elements such as natural waterfalls and serene pools that add both charm and potential character to the landscape.
Originally part of the historic Hamsterley Mill complex, the interior has been adapted for modern living while preserving its distinctive character. With a spacious open-plan kitchen at its heart, the home also offers four double bedrooms, two bathrooms, and an impressive entertaining space that highlights the building’s industrial heritage. The ground floor living room opens onto a raised deck with views of the garden and stream—ideal for outdoor entertaining. A cosy family room on the lower ground floor connects directly to nature, providing an inviting escape during colder months.
There's great potential here for further development or alterations (subject to necessary consents), making it a viable investment project. Notably, this property is not listed, which grants increased flexibility for modifications. Its modern sustainability features—such as 18 solar panels with battery storage—also enhance energy efficiency and can help reduce long-term costs.
Set within the scenic Derwent Valley area known for its wildlife-rich surroundings, including red kites and kingfishers, this home offers not only a retreat but a lifestyle that merges historical significance with modern comforts. It's an exceptional candidate for those looking to create something truly unique in a serene setting.
