Coulton Mill, Coulton, Hovingham, York YO62 4ND

Coulton Mill has existed for over 1000 years, and the present building dates probably from the 16th century, producing fine wheat flour until just after WWII. It has been of late the subject of a loving and painstaking programme of restoration by the present owner, and her endeavours were charted by Restoration Home (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SrztPL_r6SI). The infrastructure is in place, and the ground floor is virtually complete, with limestone floors from the Tadcaster quarry and a Hovingham interiors kitchen with electric AIMS Aga. Underfloor heating is currently electrically fired but provision has been made for a connection to ground source heating.

•Grade II former water mill and partly restored cottage accommodation
•Pasture, woodland and garden with mill stream
•Currently four bedrooms with potential for more
•Two restored barns and almost 10 acres of grounds
•Close to Hovingham in some of North Yorkshire’s prettiest countryside

Outside
The house and original mill workings sit beside the mill stream, a real piece of history, and once owned by the monks of Byland Abbey. The approach is along a winding lane between Scackleton and Coulton village, and the gently sloping land to the north provides pasture and a wooded area beside the stream. The barns provide shelter for horses or stock as well as a first floor playroom or studio.

About 9½ acres in all
