This striking holiday property is truly unique, with unbeatable natural surroundings and marvellous contemporary architecture which marries modernity with the traditional Norfolk style of construction.
Hunsett Mill is approached from a private road and set in an area of outstanding natural beauty, with a tranquil bend in the River Ant to the front (a tributary of The Broads), and surrounded by stunning water meadows. Inside it is both exciting and comfortable, and designed to let as much of the outside 'in' as possible, with huge windows and galleried landings giving a feeling of space and light. Comfortable furnishings and well thought out living areas make the house both welcoming and practical.
The renovation and extension of this mill keeper's cottage was shortlisted for the "Structural Awards 2009" as one of the projects with the most innovative structure in the category "Residential Structures " by the Institution of Structural Engineers. Hunsett Mill's sustainability was shortlisted for the "Making Sustainable Development Happen" award in 2009, as one of the five most sustainable projects with a budget under £2m by the UK Green Building Council and Building Magazine. Most impressive of all, in 2010 Hunsett Mill won the RIBA Manser Medal for Best New House.
