Everdon, Daventry, Northampstonshire, NN11

From working mill to country home, historic charm meets modern country living at Snorscomb Mill.

ABOUT THIS HOUSE
Snorscomb Mill rests quietly in its own fold of Northamptonshire countryside. A former watermill reimagined for modern living, its 19th-century origins clear in the stonework and in the mill stream that still winds beside it. Once the centre of village life, it has been reinterpreted with sensitivity, offering seven bedrooms and a series of welcoming reception spaces that connect easily to terraces and gardens. Light and proportion shape the interiors, from broad family rooms to quiet corners and a secluded top-floor suite. Beyond, lawns give way to woodland and water, a landscape that frames the house with tranquillity. Here, heritage is not merely preserved but quietly celebrated, creating a country home that carries its past with grace while offering space for modern life to unfold.

ABOUT THIS AREA
Snorscomb Mill lies in a secluded valley near Everdon, a conservation village where honey stone cottages and quiet lanes set a timeless scene. Footpaths wind straight from the door into rolling countryside, with Everdon Stubbs woodland a favourite for bluebell walks. The nearby Plough Inn offers a warm welcome, while Weedon and Newnham provide village shops and cafes, and Daventry brings broader facilities within minutes.
