Looking to size up with your next property purchase but still want to keep things pretty manageable? This five-and-a-half-acre ‘micro estate’ in Cornwall has just hit the market, and the new owner will apparently get their hands of not just one but four whole buildings. (Okay, so it’s a pretty loose definition of the word ‘micro’.)
The properties at Roskennals Mill, in west Cornwall, come surrounded by sprawling gardens, and aren’t all that far from holiday hotspot Penzance. The estate can be traced back to 1310, with the earliest known mill on the site dating to the seventeenth century.
According to letting agents Lillicrap Chilcott, Rosennals was one of the last working grist mills in Cornwall until it closed in the 1980s. The current owners, who have had the properties since 2007, have recently done all of them up.
The main house at Roskennals Mill has five bedrooms and is spread out over whopping 2,800 square foot. The three detached conversions are the Mill (1,384 sq ft), the Granary (926 sq ft) and Ella’s Pottery (351 sq ft) which could be used for hosting guests, rental income, studio space or offices.
