Stunning Scottish mill conversion with see-through glass floor and water wheel goes on market

A stunning mill conversion in Aberdeenshire that comes with a glass see-through floor in the dining room has just gone on the market.

Upper Kennerty Mill in Peterculter is a former water-powered grain mill situated on the banks of the Culter Burn that dates back to the 19th century. It has now been converted into a beautiful modern four-bedroom family home.

The category B listed building still has many of its original features with the glass floor designed to show the inner workings and gears of the original mill. The spacious property has been placed on the market for offers of over £1.2 m.

Speaking about the unique project, estate agents in charge of the sale, Galbraith said: "The design, by Annie Kenyon Architects, integrates many historical features and is both sympathetic and architecturally striking including a new contemporary extension.

"Original elements and features have been preserved and restored by highly skilled craftsmen, in particular the water wheels, lade bridges and water gates, and the core mill building looks much as it would have when it was built in 1838."

Set close to the water, the one acre of surrounding land is a haven for a variety of wildlife including otters, red squirrels, ducks, red kites and lots of garden birds.

The open-plan family kitchen and dining room, where you'll find the glass viewing floor to the restored mill machinery below, leads out onto the courtyard patio area.

There is a spacious lounge comes complete with a wood-burning stove and traditional ceiling beams, while the bespoke carved elm and glass staircase leads up to the second floor where you'll find the four bedrooms.
