"The Rossett Mill in Wrexham, Wales, sits on a 9.5-acre sprawl overlooking the River Alyn, its 16th-century facade belying its reimagined interiors. The converted four-bedroom residence comes complete with modern conveniences-central heating, an electric gated driveway-as much as nods to its traditional construction in its exposed oaks beams and stonework. Even its corn mill has been restored to working condition. The house is listed with Currans Unique for £1.5 million ($2.05 million)."
"Constructed in 1588, it served as a site where local villagers could grind their grain, replacing the older Marford Mill located across the road. The two structures were likely referred to as the upper and lower Marford mills. In 1661, John Trevor of Trevalyn Hall, who owned both properties, expanded the newer facility by adding a central structure. Further repairs to its waterwall and floors were undertaken in 1710."
Rossett Mill in Wrexham sits on a 9.5-acre site overlooking the River Alyn with a 16th-century façade and reimagined interiors. The converted four-bedroom residence pairs modern conveniences—central heating and an electric gated driveway—with exposed oak beams, stonework and a restored corn mill. The property is listed with Currans Unique for £1.5 million ($2.05 million). Constructed in 1588, the mill replaced the older Marford Mill and likely formed the upper and lower mills. John Trevor expanded the mill in 1661 and further waterwall and floor repairs occurred in 1710. Turner visited around 1794, producing sketches and a watercolor showing the undershot wheel and pastoral details. The mill operated for more than 350 years and was rescued from demolition in 1973.
