FOLKERTON MILL Douglas Water, Lanarkshire
Built circa 1880, this traditional B listed watermill which consists of mill house, the former mill and numerous outbuildings offers a fantastic opportunity to live in an extremely private and rural setting but close to local transport links. The mill house itself offers excellent family accommodation which is formed over a traditional two storey layout. Rettie & Co are of the opinion that early internal inspection is absolutely imperative to appreciate the accommodation and opportunity that is on offer. The overall accommodation extends to sitting room with wood burning stove, super-sized dining kitchen, utility room and modern shower room. First floor accommodation has master bedroom with en suite bathroom and two further double bedrooms. The mill is a two storey building with three larger apartments on each level which still has many of the original mill machinery intact, including the water wheel. Subject to planning approval, there is fantastic potential to develop this further. The main outbuilding is a single storey structure which contains a stable, garage, dairy, byre, and creamery. There is detached piggery and a large storage barn with timber walls and a pitched slate roof. The total area of the grounds is approximately 1.5 acres which includes a large grass area on the far side of the river which could be utilised for grazing or garden.
