The stunning converted mill on Bristol's outskirts which could be yours for £1.6m

A converted mill on the outskirts of Bristol which used to produce snuff, corn and flour, has come on the market.

But you will need rather deep pockets if you want to make this stunning 19th century home in the pretty village of Flax Bourton your home.

Gatcombe, which is Grade II listed and in an enviably private position, is currently on the market with a price guide of £1,625,000 making it one of the most expensive homes currently on the market in North Somerset.

The mill has an interesting history with a range of different uses including snuff, corn and flour over the hundred years of use.

The current owners have lived at the mill for 30 years and during that time have lovingly restored and converted the building, keeping all its working machinery throughout.

The accommodation is set over three floors and the property sits in stunning gardens of around an acre.

And there is plenty of room for even the biggest of families, with five double bedrooms and three reception rooms.

The living accommodation is set over three floors, the ground floor offers entrance hallway, fitted kitchen / breakfast room access to the front gardens, extended reception room with log burner and utility room / downstairs toilet.
