From the agent: "This wonderfully expansive Grade II-listed former mill lies on the outskirts of the quaint village of Worton. Occupying a quiet, rural position next to Semington Brook, a tributary of the River Avon, it is set out over four light-filled levels. Extending over 4,600 square feet and with six bedrooms, the house has stunning views overlooking the brook and Salisbury Plain beyond. Many of its original features remain and are married beautifully with contemporary interventions. Beyond the main house, secondary accommodation extends over 1,000 square feet offering three further bedrooms and separate living accommodation. Fishing rights extend along the brook for a quarter-mile, and there is a welcoming swimming pool in the garden."
The Semington Brook property in Devizes, England, includes a 4,618-square-foot main house that date back to the 19th century. "The house was constructed as a gristmill—a mill used to grind cereal grain into flour—in 1850 and served as such until 1970," says the listing agent. "To the left, a contemporary cedar-clad addition contrasts wonderfully with the red-brick core of the house."

"Entry on the ground floor is through a large pivot door," says the listing agent. "This opens onto a large hallway with slate flagstones underfoot and a contemporary half-turn cherry wood staircase."
