About this property

Most handsome listed Grade II Mill House and fine three storey Mill and adjacent converted granary, set in a pretty valley and extending to about 8.93 acres.

Melbury Abbas Mill is a former corn mill and was probably built in the 17th century, although there is evidence that mills in this area were in existence centuries earlier. The Mill house has handsome, classical Georgian proportions, with attractive cut stone elevations and sash windows, under a slate roof. The property has attractive period, character accommodation arranged over three floors with many original features including open fireplaces, flagstone floors, exposed ceiling timbers and original shutters at some of the windows.
