However, there are also 21 acres of grazing meadow to the south of the property.

Property agent Peter Ogilvie from Savills in Ipswich said: “Wiston Mill is incredibly special, very rare and certainly the finest water mill I have seen in my career. The setting in the heart of Constable Country is magical, with the sound of running water a beautiful backdrop to wonderfully mature and secluded surroundings.

“The property itself is remarkably elegant, with many period features including wooden beams, exposed brick and wood-burning fireplaces. There are also some truly exceptional views over the river – particularly from the drawing room balcony and the master bedroom, both of which are within the original mill building. The mill room also contains much of its original machinery.”
