Additional Information

Historical Note
The Mill, originally constructed in 1780 during the Imperial Period, underwent significant changes over the years. In 1888, lightning struck its sails, leading to a conversion to be powered via a steam engine. Known by the name “Bouncing Bess,” the Mill ceased operations in 1918. During World War 1, it served as a prisoner
of war dormitory and later transformed into a house in the 1970s.
Under the current ownership, the property has been elevated through meticulous interior design, creating a remarkable family home. The Mill retains its original tower, complete with mill workings and a giant cog wheel. Sympathetic extensions, including circular towers, seamlessly blend with The Mill’s original architecture.
