The design, which features restoring the original chimney and adding architectural glazing which will help to create a seamless link between the old and the new, creates a bright and inviting living space that has been designed to make the most of the surrounding views. Included within the plans is permission to construct a detached double garage which is detailed on the CGI images.

The existing agricultural buildings, currently being used for equestrian activities, will be removed from the site. This is part of the redevelopment plan for the mill which includes the construction of a new house (The Tile House).
