Description

A Historic Mill with Accommodation set over four levels, nestled within Nine Acres of Riverside Tranquillity.

Set along the banks of the River Waveney, The Old Mill presents a rare opportunity to acquire a property steeped in history and surrounded by exceptional countryside. With origins dating back over two centuries and under the custodianship of the same family for 46 years, this former working mill offers more than 2,800 sq ft of accommodation and an enviable 9-acre setting (stms). Its blend of character, scale and potential makes it an outstanding prospect for those seeking a lifestyle defined by heritage, nature and privacy. The interiors are rich in period detail, with exposed brickwork, timber beams and vaulted ceilings providing a dramatic backdrop to everyday living.

At the heart of the home, a spectacular upper floor opens into a vaulted reception area, framing views across the river and fields beyond. This remarkable open-plan space flows into dining and kitchen areas, with the warmth of a wood-burning stove adding to its atmosphere. A galleried study looks over the main living area, while a guest bedroom and en suite complete the upper levels, ensuring flexibility for modern living.

On the first floor, four further double bedrooms retain the property’s rustic character, complemented by family bathroom facilities. The lower level is left unconverted for flood security in exceptional times and offers workshop space and practical storage areas. The addition of a watertight door and underfloor pump mean that there is potential to create further usable accommodation on this level.

Beyond the house itself, the lifestyle offering is equally compelling. The mill sits within grounds that extend across both Mid-Suffolk and South Norfolk, with the river forming a natural centrepiece where the owners benefit from private fishing rights. The land, a mixture of lawns, meadows and riverbanks, is perfectly suited to outdoor pursuits, whether for quiet enjoyment, creating nature retreats, or future landscaping.

A gated drive leads to extensive parking, a detached garage with workshop and WC, and further outbuildings providing excellent storage and scope for varied uses. With its blend of history, charm and potential, The Old Mill offers a unique chance to create a truly individual home in a setting of rare beauty—one that balances seclusion with proximity to the nearby market towns of Harleston, Beccles and Bungay, and the welcoming village community of Needham. Diss, which is only nine miles away also offers a mainline station to London Liverpool Street.
