A 450-year-old watermill home—and the subject of a dreamy J.M.W. Turner landscape—has landed on the market.

The Rossett Mill in Wrexham, Wales, sits on a 9.5-acre sprawl overlooking the River Alyn, its 16th-century facade belying its reimagined interiors. The converted four-bedroom residence comes complete with modern conveniences—central heating, an electric gated driveway—as much as nods to its traditional construction in its exposed oaks beams and stonework. Even its corn mill has been restored to working condition. The house is listed with Currans Unique for £1.5 million ($2.05 million).

Of course, the building hasn’t always looked like this. Constructed in 1588, it served as a site where local villagers could grind their grain, replacing the older Marford Mill located across the road. The two structures were likely referred to as the upper and lower Marford mills. In 1661, John Trevor of Trevalyn Hall, who owned both properties, expanded the newer facility by adding a central structure. Further repairs to its waterwall and floors were undertaken in 1710.

Around 1794, the mill was visited by Turner, then a 20-year-old roaming the British countryside and sketching its landscapes and architecture. His four tours of Wales at this time produced drawings of Traeth Mawr, Nantlle Lake, Dinas Emrys, Dyffryn Glaslyn, among other studies of light. Of Marford Mill, he outlined a corner of the building, with the mill’s mechanics set amid profuse vegetation.

“He was looking for picturesque subjects which were very popular with an antiquarian market at the time,” Nicola Moorby, Tate Britain’s curator of historic British art, told the BBC.

Turner’s later watercolor of the mill scene adds other pastoral details: the undershot wheel slicing through the river’s waters, a lone jug and net resting on its banks, and a man, his back to the viewer, grasping a fishing rod. The building itself appears well-worn, its yellowing facade blending with the autumnal surroundings.

The Rossett Mill would be in operation for more than 350 years. In 1973, it was rescued from demolition by Michael Kilgannon, who acquired and lovingly restored the building. He opened the site to the public and sold flour that was milled onsite. He was evicted from the mill in 2012, before its current owners, Celia and Branden Wilson, snapped up the property.

The Wilsons have restored the mill to make it livable. They’ve installed bay windows to make for light-filled rooms, white cabinetry and oak worktops for a rustic kitchen, and a patio framed by a pergola. The couple has also put the newly operational mill, which rises three stories, to use milling corn to bake bread, they told the BBC. In fact, the property’s 1588 deed grants its owner rights to extract as much water from the River Alyn as needed to power the mill.

“We take it for granted, I suppose, living here,” Branden Wilson added, “but there is history in every corner of this building. We were the first people to live in it.”
