Surrounded by beautiful countryside the watermill with millstream sits next to a chalk stream and has approximately 250 metres of riverbank fishing. 

The Grimstone Mill is a Grade II listed building and the layout remains much as it was after the 1926 rebuild of the two upper floors.

It has a slate hipped roof with deep eaves and braced collar roof trusses.

The only building on the plot, the mill has three floors with an internal staircase connecting each floor and a set of 'granary' doors on the top level.

Offered to the market with no forward chain the property has previous been granted planning permission (2006 and 2011) for one unit of holiday accommodation, extensions and internal alterations. 

The previous planning included the erection of detached garages, stores and a covered parking building.

This included a large additional workshop, double garage and turning space.
