From a picturesque countryside corn mill to a city flat in London's historic waterside heartland, a range of converted mill properties are currently on the market across England and Scotland.
Sebergham, Cumbria
The Mill House, a five-bedroom Grade II-listed property, has been lovingly restored over 50 years by its owners, a retired architect and a garden designer. Heritage features abound, including the water wheel, ancient timber miller's screen, an overhead sack hoist in the vaulted sitting room, and a millstone serving as a coffee table. A mill stream feeds a natural pond, and the Lake District National Park is within walking distance. Price: £950,000. Contact Finest Properties on 0330 111 22 66.
