The Clover Mill, Archers Mill Cradley, Malvern, Herefordshire, WR13 5NR

The Clover Mill is a yoga retreat business built and nurtured by the current owner. The guests are offered a three-five night stay in any of the six eco-lodges, full use of the communal guest house and the mill, specially thought out cuisine using the produce from the gardens and free range access across all of the land. The business consists of six highly insulated architect designed eco-loges, a grade II listed owners’ cottage and a grade II listed converted mill, as well as various other outbuildings. The current owner runs it as a lifestyle business and tailors her workload to suit her day-to-day life, making this a very flexible set up.

The Clover Mill is set within 10 acres of tranquil pasture and wooded land. The property is located deep into the countryside and up a private track to offer privacy and seclusion. Positioned west of the Malvern Hills, the property is 11 miles from the city of Worcester, with easy access to the M5.

The owner’s accommodation is a converted two bed 17th century cottage. This characterful cottage has been thoroughly thought out, with its unique character features in mind. It consists of a country style kitchen, a living room, and bedroom on the first floor, an architect’s designed staircase leads up to the master bedroom with main bathroom displaying a roll top bath and feature diamond window.
The guest space leads on from the cottage into a preparation room, commercial kitchen and a larder. This follows into a large guest dining room, leading up to the guest relaxation area. The cottage used to be one large house and has been split by the current owner, so there is plenty of scope to revert it back to its previous state as a three/four bedroom house.
The five-storey grade II listed water mill has been converted to a very high standard. On the fifth floor there is a double height yoga studio with a capacity for fifteen guests. A spiral staircase leads down to the other floors, including, five treatment spaces, changing facilities, a reception and a steam room.
The whole building was carefully thought out and the original mechanics of the mill have been preserved and displayed creating a unique and special blank canvass for the next owner. The mill is expertly renovated benefitting from underfloor heating and air conditioning.

Fixtures and fittings are included in the freehold sale, with the exception of a small number of items personal to the current owners. Further information on this can be obtained from the selling agent.

The accommodation consists of six highly insulated architect designed eco-lodges. Five of the contemporary eco-lodges are timber clad, have vaulted ceilings, a front porch and their own private decked area overlooking the lake. All eco-lodges have willow woven porch lining to help merge them into their natural surroundings.
Four of the eco-lodges consist of one double bedroom with a fully tiled bathroom featuring a large bath and wet room showers. The fifth eco-lodge has disabled access with a large wet room. The sixth eco-lodge has its own private area and was a later addition. It benefits from its own private garden and decked area. Internally there is one double bedroom and an open plan kitchen and living room. This eco-lodge is also wheelchair accessible.
All buildings are served by a highly insulated district heating system from the biomass boiler which is registered for the index-linked RHI until 2033, bore hole water supply and aerobic sewage digester.

The property is set within 10 acres, consisting of pastureland, wild flower meadows, wooded areas, ponds, established herb and vegetable garden, an alpaca field and a weir.
The property also comes with a gravel drive and parking for 24 vehicles.

The Clover Mill is a unique opportunity to acquire an established leisure / wellness business with owner’s cottage, guest accommodation and a piece of 17th century history in the form of a converted mill.
The business offers the idyllic lifestyle of living and working in a tranquil countryside location, yet still has close proximity to the city and transport links.
