    About this property

    • Built in 1820, the mill was originally constructed as a water-driven silk mill and has been used for various purposes in the intervening period. Following the collapse of the silk trade it was repurposed as a grain mill and continued to operate in this capacity until the Second World War when it was then converted to an engineering works, which produced parts for the Mosquito Bomber aircraft. More recently it was used as a sculptor's studio. In 2008 Dandridge's Mill was converted to create four exclusive properties that combine luxury materials with ground-breaking low and zero carbon technologies. In addition to the impressive main entrance-hall stone stairway, there is a stylish glass fronted lift to the first and second floors. The Penthouse offers an attractive mix of original features and contemporary elements.

      The kitchen comprises bespoke fitted units, laser cut granite work surfaces and sinuous glass panels. The bathrooms and shower rooms throughout feature sleek fittings and either stylish limestone or polished black tiling. The property benefits from Rako lighting, multi point Sky+/HD TV and DAB system and security features such as touch panel video entry phones. Dandridge's Mill has achieved widespread recognition. The development was ‘Highly Commended for Sustainability' in the RIBA Downland Prize 2009 and was winner of ‘Best Technical Innovation' at the 2010 LABC National Building Excellence Awards.

      The property offers superb space with an abundance of light. Large open plan living areas, contemporary curved kitchen, utility room, storage, impressive bedrooms with dressing areas and en-suite bathrooms. There are three apartments in the main building, one on each floor. Each apartment is impressive in its own right.

      One of many striking features of the Penthouse is the eighteenth century French staircase leading from the living room to the mezzanine area with glass doors that open onto a private decked roof terrace. A separate staircase, adjacent to the living area, leads to a spacious attic studio with adjacent storage room.

      The roof terrace can also be accessed from the studio and glass doors on either side of the terrace allow light to pass between both sides of the building.

      Outside
      The Penthouse's riverside garden at Dandridge's Mill is predominantly laid to lawn with mature trees and well established flowering shrubs. There are delightful views of Letcombe Brook and the neighbouring mill pond at Mill House. Each property benefits from allocated off-street parking at the front of the Mill. A gravelled area to the rear of Dandridge's Mill provides visitors' parking.
