“I simply love the house because it’s very quirky,” continues Paul, “and it’s filled with lots of lovely features. There’s

an old wheel on the galleried landing that used

to be used for pulling the corn into the barn, and

down in the basement we have a plinth that

states that the mill was built in 1588.”

“The conversion was done beautifully and very sympathetically, and it’s a house that has a very cosy feel throughout. Because the stone walls are so wonderfully

thick it’s cool in the summer with all the doors and windows open,

and very warm in the winter, so much so that it’s actually relatively

cheap to heat.”

“I just adore this house,” concludes Paul, “but it’s simply too big for the two of us now. It really has been a wonderful home for the past eight years

and I’ll miss absolutely everything about it.”


“I love everything about this house, especially the location,” says Paul. “We’re close to all the amenities and relatively close to the motorway networks, and yet we have all this

beautiful countryside on our doorstep. The conversion was done beautifully and very sympathetically, and it’s a house that has a very cosy feel throughout.”

“I bought the house just over eight years ago,” says Paul, “and what initially attracted me was the potential to incorporate equestrian facilities within the grounds. I’ve been able to divide some of the land into paddocks and I’ve also had a manège and stables put in. And the location is absolutely ideal for riding as the Pennine Trail runs right across the back of

the property; I can ride for miles and miles across nothing but glorious countryside.”

ALDHAM WATER MILL

“The back garden is particularly stunning, and although it’s a very large space it’s actually extremely low maintenance. The people who converted the property did a lovely job of landscaping the grounds and included stone pathways that lead to lots of different places to sit and relax.”Water Mill
