Description

The Old Mill is a highly desirable Grade II Listed residence, beautifully positioned in the heart of the charming town of Melbourne. Nestled beside the historic mill pool—known as Melbourne Pool—the property enjoys stunning panoramic views across the water and surrounding countryside, offering a truly idyllic and rarely available setting.

This exceptional home perfectly balances period character with contemporary living. Originally dating back to the early 17th century, the property underwent a meticulous conversion in the 1970s, preserving its historic charm while introducing modern comforts. As part of the exclusive Melbourne Estate, it presents a rare opportunity to acquire a home of both architectural significance and everyday practicality.

The accommodation is arranged across three floors and offers both space and versatility. On the ground floor, there is a well-equipped fitted kitchen with built-in storage and a generous dining room with glazed doors opening out onto a private patio. Leading off the dining room is a comfortable lounge, along with a welcoming entrance hall and a convenient WC.

The first floor offers four well-proportioned bedrooms, including one with an en suite, alongside a stylish shower room serving the remaining rooms.

The second floor is home to a large and flexible fifth bedroom, which could also serve as a sitting room, studio, or games room, depending on your needs.

Externally, the property benefits from a private gated driveway with ample parking, as well as two outbuildings—one of which is large enough to accommodate up to two cars. The gardens are laid to lawn to both the front and rear, complemented by a charming mill feature to the side of the property.

With its spacious layout, exceptional views, and timeless appeal, The Old Mill is a rare and special home in one of Derbyshire’s most picturesque and historic locations.
