House For Sale £2,000,000
Castle Mill is a stunning and sympathetic conversion of a historic Grade 2 listed water mill to a spacious and practical family home. It has been beautifully restored to provide a comfortable blend of the period features of a working mill with the contemporary fittings and finishes of a modern family house. Reference in The Doomsday Book indicates there has been a mill standing on this site since at least 1086 although there is little detail until the late 17th century when Castle Mill appears on maps as part of The Betchworth Castle Estate. It is of timber framed construction on a brick base under a classic mansard roof. The accommodation is arranged over four floors and extends to some 3200 square feet. The notable ground floor reception hall exhibits the workings of the mill. On the first floor, there is an open-plan sitting room and dining room and a unique viewing room/study, all of which enjoy stunning views across the mill pond and to Box Hill beyond. The kitchen/breakfast room has been bespoke designed and fitted to include a full range of modern appliances. Each of the three luxurious bathrooms have been refitted to a high standard in recent years and there are five bedrooms in all.
