Bilstone is an unspoilt Hamlet situated only one and half miles from Twycross with its excellent school and yet only three miles from Market Bosworth town centre. The village is particularly well placed for fast access to Birmingham, Nuneaton and Hinckley via the A444, M42 and A5.

The Property

Bilstone Mill has been the subject of an extensive renovation and conversion programme by Mkc Developments. With a passion for restoring old buildings, Mkc Developments were particularly interested in harnessing the power of the adjacent river in order to create an environmentally friendly power source and have invested in the installation of a sophisticated hydro electric power plant to both provide electricity for the Mill and the adjacent Mill cottage which is anticipated to be at no cost. The Mill has been carefully restored enhancing all the original features including Mill workings, wall and ceiling beams etc., which has resulted in a property of considerable character yet is also equipped with the very latest in kitchen and bathroom fitments.

The whole enjoys outstanding open views.

Agents Note

A particular feature of the Water Mill is its carbon foot print as the electricity supply for the property is provided from a sophisticated brand new hydro electric power unit which is powered by the stream running through a especially installed electric plant in a separate Mill Race. Whilst this installation is currently being completed, and therefore it is difficult to assess the likely quantity of electricity generated, we are informed by the vendor that the Mill should enjoy as much electricity as is required at no cost to heat and run the property. Further details on this can be gained from the vendor. The hydro electric power plant will provide all the energy necessary for heating and domestic electricity. As such the property is classified as largely carbon neutral which entitles the property to a reduction of £15, 000 in stamp duty payable. Purchasers should satisfy themselves over the accuracy of this information prior to purchase.
