Originally a corn mill, the building has been expertly reimagined to blend its rich industrial past with refined contemporary living. Striking original beams sit beautifully within vaulted ceilings, while extensive glazing floods the generous interiors with natural light, creating a series of bright, airy and highly impressive spaces that celebrate both character and design. Jolly Mill is particularly appealing to those who value space, privacy and a strong connection to the outdoors. From peaceful summer evenings spent on the balconies or terraces, enjoying sweeping valley views, birdsong, and the gentle flow of the river below, to hosting family and friends within the home’s grand yet welcoming entertaining spaces and gardens. Children can explore and play safely within the private grounds, while hobbyists and equestrian enthusiasts will appreciate the freedom to spend time with horses or enjoy the workshops at leisure. Quite simply, Jolly Mill offers a way of life that is as rare as it is rewarding.

The six pairs of oak French doors give access to balconies on all sides and tastefully frame different angles of the gorgeous surrounding scenery. A large log burner holds the centre of the space and is sure to emit a warming orange glow when required. Owing to the very generous size of this room, if needed, it could easily be a multi-functional room, adding to the versatile and flexible appeal for modern family life.
