Looking for something unique, this striking black tower was built in 1825 and is a Grade II listed building. Originally a working grain mill, it has now been fully renovated to provide a wonderful holiday home. Immerse yourselves in the beauty of the Norfolk Broads, offering a peaceful location to escape the hustle and bustles of daily life, yet only a 6-minute drive from the village with a pub which serves good food, shop, butcher and more. The accommodation is spread over three floors with amazing views of the surrounding countryside. A staircase leads to the entrance and it boasts circular rooms with open plan living areas. Spiral stairs lead to a double bedroom and a separate bathroom. Further spiral stairs lead to the second bedroom with a single bed and pull-out trundle bed (if you don’t mind a squeeze!). Adjacent to The Mill is your private, lawned garden with garden furniture, a perfect spot to simply soak up the sun and enjoy the tranquillity of this peaceful retreat. The owner’s home is located within the grounds, neighbouring to but separated from The Mill. The beautiful grounds are a natural haven for wildlife with mature trees and a grassed meadow boasting wild flowers (in season), perfect for a stroll in the evening.
Enjoy a 5-minute walk along the path leading to the River Ant. Located opposite is the How Hill Trust; the reserve is of national and international importance for nature conservation, birds, insects, plants and wildlife. Take a river trip, have a picnic or explore the wildlife trail mapped for your enjoyment. The riverside village of Ludham is a 6-minute drive with pub, tea rooms, village Post Office/stores and butcher. Neighbouring Womack Water with grassed riverside seating areas is a great place to sit and watch the riverside activities or why not hire a boat yourself? Many footpaths, trails and a quiet network of lanes offer excellent cycling and walking directly from the doorstep. This Grade II listed building has many rustic and quirky features that make it a great place to stay, they do also mean that it is unsuitable for young children.
Wroxham, known as the capital of the Norfolk Broads is just 20-minutes drive, for more boating activity, daily boat hire, river trips, supermarket, shops, cafés, riverside restaurant and miniature model village. There is a train station with connections to Norwich City, the traditional seaside town of Sheringham, and home to the Bure Valley Railway, longest narrow gauge railway visiting the pretty Market town of Aylsham. For the kids amongst us, Bewilderwood at Horning and the Dinosaur Adventure Park at Lenwade are a great day out. The city of Norwich is 15 miles away for excellent shopping, two indoor malls, market square, cathedral, theatre, castle museum, cafés, restaurants, bowling alleys, cinema complexes and much more. Sea Palling, 9 mile away, has a wide sandy beach backed by dunes, café, fish and chips and amusements. There are plenty of historic sites, National Trust homes and parks, many more amazing sandy beaches, traditional coastal villages and towns all within easy driving distance. Beach 9 miles. Shop, pub and restaurant 1½ miles.

Fantastic place for a relaxing holiday, the mill is comfortable and had everything we needed for our holiday, would recommend it as a place to stay but maybe not if you had small children.

Obviously by its nature the local amenities are a drive away, however do not let that put you off this idilic setting. A 200 year old mill, it’s quirky and compact but great for an escape from working life. Secret gardens, orchids and the broads all within 200 yards. Go on, give it a go.
