Rock Mill is a beautifully presented Grade II Listed building, which cleverly combines the 16th century Mill house together with the 18th century flour Mill to create a fascinating home over three levels. Built of local stone.

There is also a wine cellar with water feature that can be accessed from the living room and also leads to the boot room/utility. Many of the original feature of the house have been retained such as massive chamfered beams, an inglenook fireplace.

On the first floor is three double bedroom and two bathrooms. The third floor has another two bedrooms and a bathroom.
