Mill House

Set in a private valley, the 3 acres of domestic fruit, vegetables, wild flowers and casual planting are arranged around a power generating watermill. Sustainability and low maintenance lie at its heart, to fit with modern life. Open views, set with mature trees and livestock, give a tranquil sense of space, with moving and static water framed in an undulating landscape.

About Mill House

Planted on heavy clay, the gardens of Mill House are relatively young, but occupy an historic site. They surround a recently rebuilt watermill which generates domestic electricity. Rural in feel, despite its proximity to Basingstoke, it features a number of differing zones.

Tended solely by the owners, the structure and planting has been chosen to facilitate easy maintenance (by hand, powered machinery and sheep) to save time. Static and moving water provide interest and a haven for waterfowl, pied wagtails, swans and kingfishers.

Disabled access
Park in the car park, but take the vehicular exit route, turning L onto the metalled drive leading down to house.
