The very aptly named <a rel="noreferrer noopener" aria-label="Watermill House (opens in a new tab)" href="https://www.sowerbys.com/property/100439033306/nr15/norwich/low-road/mill/7-bedrooms" target="_blank">Watermill House</a> is located in Tasburgh, a lovely and quiet South Norfolk village that&#8217;s only about 25 minute&#8217;s drive from central Norwich. 



A super-spacious Grade II-listed former water mill, with seven bedrooms, it&#8217;s perched right on the banks of the River Tas and packed with quirky period charm.

Walking up the gravelled drive, you&#8217;ll arrive by crossing an ancient brick bridge that crosses the picturesque mill race. In the entrance hall, with its original dark woodwork, you can see the old mill machinery through a special glass floor- a fabulously unique touch!

Upstairs, a stunning landing (complete with mill machinery poking up through the centre of the house) gives way to a drawing room (very posh!) and en-suite master bedroom, as well as three other bedrooms and a separate bathroom.

The property has been given a stylish and period-sympathetic update &#8211; think dark wood flooring and bold, deep paint colours that really set off the rustic mill machinery and original fire places to gorgeous effect.

And if the house isn&#8217;t enough of a draw, the surroundings are also utterly idyllic &#8211; there&#8217;s a gorgeous walled garden in front of the house, and behind it you&#8217;ll find a lovely patio and lawn area, complete with flower borders and water features.

There&#8217;s also a beautifully wild meadow and woodland area extending backwards for 17 acres. Oh, and did we mention the swimming pool? Yes, there&#8217;s a pool &#8211; with views, as the kids say, for days.

If you can ever tear yourself away from your halcyon home the village has a beautiful church, a decent primary school and a proper country pub. You can get all the bits and bobs you need in nearby Long Stratton, or the very attractive market town Wymondham (which has a station) is just under six miles away. Plus, all the attractions of Norwich are under half an hour away. 



The rumour &#8220;mill&#8221; has it that this gorgeous and gloriously kooky property might not stick around for long, so get yourself <a href="https://www.sowerbys.com/property/100439033306/nr15/norwich/low-road/mill/7-bedrooms" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener" aria-label="on the Sowerby's website (opens in a new tab)">on the Sowerby&#8217;s website</a> to oggle at it some more and check out the price, stat.
