Lexie and John Cook purchased the Mill at auction in 2002. Sympathetic design in conjunction with the conservation officer took 3 years and restoration took a further year with completion in July 2006. Mill Cottage is now an attractive and comfortable home embodying every essential modern facility and a number of breathtaking features. Nevertheless, in the interest of conservation, all of the important historical features have been retained and repaired where necessary.
