Outside - Immediately from the property, there is a patio area that runs across the rear elevation and leads to the Garden room. This then wraps round to the side elevation and runs up to the garden area which is well established with a variety of shrubs and trees creating a delightfully tranquil area which runs parallel to both the North Yorkshire moors Railway and the Stream that flows beneath the Mill. Beyond the garden there is a bridge which provides access immediately from the Road and also offers an area for off-street parking. To the Front aspect, there is also off-street parking and a door leading to a storage area.
High Mill - High Mill was first known to exist close to Pickering castle’s Mill Tower in the 13th century and was almost certainly the earliest in the town. For many centuries it operated as a corn mill, until the advent of steam power and then electricity rendered water mills uneconomic. For several decades it continued as an animal feed mill, no doubt buoyed for a while by the war years, until it finally closed in 1958. Sadly, the waterwheels, millstones and drive gear were all removed at this time and it has been standing empty ever since.
As late as the mid 1800’s, the mill was still only a single storey stone building with two external undershot waterwheels and sluices supported on a wooden frame. After this time, the building was variously enlarged and heightened, with a fine stone frontage, brick gables and the wheelhouse completely enclosing the mill leat, with further storage above. High Mill House was built on the back of the mill about 1856, clearly post-dating the arrival of the railway, due to its facing of white ‘railway brick’. There obviously wasn’t much space left to squeeze the house into as can be seen by its close proximity to the line. However, on the plus side, this does mean it can scarcely be surpassed as a viewing platform along the whole length of the line.
Services - All mains connected.
Planning Permissions - Details of the planning permission are available to view online. The proposed works were: Change of use and alterations to former mill to form 2no. two-bedroom residential units together with formation of vehicular access and crossing over Mill Leat/Race. Part of these works were completed so we believe that the application is still live and not there is no need for further required approvals.
