A distinguished Grade II listed water mill with energy generating wheel, cottage, outbuildings and about 4 acres of gardens and grounds with river frontage.
Longaller Mill is an exceptional Grade II listed mill house, beautifully restored to create an elegant home with rare renewable energy credentials. Believed to be the only operational mill on the River Tone, it blends period character with a modern automated waterwheel and electricity generator, all set within about 4 acres of idyllic gardens, river frontage and grounds, together with a charming letting cottage.
The main house is a handsome detached building, extensively renovated and finished with limestone flooring and calm, natural tones. The reception hall leads to a generous sitting room with brick fireplace, a study/family room overlooking the mill leat, and a thoughtfully designed kitchen/breakfast room with Shaker-style cabinetry and Everhot range. Additional ground floor spaces include a utility/boot room, garden room opening to a circular terrace, and a work room housing the electric car charging point, woodfired boiler and access to the fully automated waterwheel and generator.
Upstairs, the spacious landing enjoys views across the mill pond and serves four bedrooms. The principal bedroom features built in wardrobes and a contemporary en suite shower room. The remaining bedrooms include one with Juliet balcony and another overlooking the leat, served by a well-appointed family bathroom. A sizeable games room showcases further mill workings, while attic rooms retain historic features including original grain hoppers.
Leat Cottage, attached to the main house, provides excellent guest or income accommodation with a sitting room, kitchen/breakfast room, double bedroom and bathroom, along with its own garden, terrace and parking.
Approached via an original brick bridge, the driveway opens to ample parking and a detached double garage. The grounds are beautifully arranged, with formal gardens near the house, expansive lawns, mature planting and a traditional cider orchard.
To the south and east, lawned gardens enjoy views over the leat and paddock, complemented by a sheltered terrace, former piggery/stables and an enchanting lily pond with surrounding seating areas. The kitchen garden offers raised beds, greenhouse, potting shed and store, with a yard beyond leading to a modern three bay barn. A gate opens into the paddock, bordered by the mill leat and River Tone.

Wind in the Willows and a substantial income generation from the waterwheel are what sets Longaller Mill apart. This convenient riverside setting really is a must see.
