A former corn-mill, it is an ancient building – there was a mill over 500 years ago! Lustleigh Mill is an ancient building, over 400 years old, with exposed beams and granite fireplace. It is close to the village centre, yet quiet and secluded. The old mill stream, which still flows past the house and into the Wrey Brook at the bottom of the garden, produces our own electricity.
