Tollerton Mill in North Yorkshire up for sale by Savills

Tollerton Mill first opened as a mill back in 1815 and remaining in service until 1942 when it fell into disrepair and its metal cap was taken and melted in order to support the war effort.

In the early 1970s, the derelict building was bought by a local architect who converted it into a home while still retaining its original features. The current owners acquired the property in 2009 and began a renovation and refurbishment project, including significant additions and improvements in infrastructure and layout.

Estate agents Savills describe the mill in its current form as a ‘sympathetic and innovative conversion’.

Situated in Tollerton village itself, the mill sits around 10 miles from York city centre and offers direct access to the city via the A19. Also nearby are the villages of Newton on Ouse, Linton on Ouse, Beningbrough, and the towns of Easingwold and Thirsk.

The tower of the mill also adds three additional floors to the property – providing an extra bathroom, bedroom, and panoramic countryside views from the lookout snug at the top.

Property agent Ed Stoyle said: “Tollerton Mill is certainly a unique opportunity that does not come along very often, a truly special property.”
