A Grade II-listed water mill dating to about 1625 is being offered as a five-bedroom home near Ashbourne.
The Water Mill is described as Derbyshire’s oldest surviving water mill.
It forms part of the Bradbourne Mill Collection, which is being sold as four private detached homes for residential use only.
The listing says the main houses cannot be used as holiday lets.
Bradbourne Mill is on the edge of the Peak District National Park, about five minutes by car from Ashbourne.
Set within approximately 10 acres, the property combines preserved mill machinery with accommodation arranged over three floors.
Inside, original features include exposed stonework, oak beams, the Hurst frame, gears and millstones.
The front door opens into a lounge on the ground floor.
A full-height observatory provides a view into the original workings of the mill.
The preserved machinery remains visible from this area and forms part of the house’s interior.
A ground-floor WC and utility room are positioned nearby.
A staircase leads down to a guest suite at the opposite end of the property.
The listing says this area is separated from the main accommodation to provide privacy for visitors or family members.
On the first floor, the main living room has exposed beams and original mill elements.
The kitchen and dining area provides access to a patio.
The kitchen occupies space above the former brick kiln, which was used to dry grain.
Also on this level are a snug and a study.
Four bedrooms are located on the second floor.
They are arranged across two staircases, with two bedrooms reached from each staircase.
Four bedrooms have en-suite facilities, while the remaining rooms are served by bathrooms.
The listing describes the accommodation as having six bathrooms in total.
Outside, private patio areas include a front seating terrace and a rear barbecue and entertaining area.
Both areas are positioned to look across the mill and surrounding countryside.
A jetty leads across to gardens containing paddocks, woodland and brookside areas.
The grounds also include two restored overshot waterwheels.
They are powered by the upper mill pond and remain a visible feature of the site.
Original millstones have been incorporated into the landscaping.
A store beneath the kitchen is accessed from the front of the property.
It was formerly the basement room containing an 18th-century kiln.
The room now houses the boiler and hot water tank, and can be used for bikes or barbecues.
An extensive parking area is also included.
The listing says it could have potential for garaging or equestrian use, subject to planning permission.
The property is presented as a home intended for permanent residential occupation rather than holiday accommodation.
Its historic features remain integrated with the living areas, including the observatory and preserved mill workings.
The surrounding land includes open paddocks, trees and watercourses.
The Water Mill is being marketed as part of a private residential collection.
It offers five bedrooms, six bathrooms and living areas across the former industrial building.
