A Grade II-listed former mill with one and a quarter miles of prime chalk stream fly fishing has gone up for sale in Hampshire for just under £5 million.
Bransbury Mill, located in the tiny hamlet of Bransbury, is a spectacular five bedroom property, with separate cottage, set in 22.18 acres on the banks of the River Dever.
The buyer will purchase a unique chalk stream fishery with a mill first mentioned in the Doomsday Book with the earliest part of the house dating back to the 18th Century and previously used for the production of milled grain.

On the ground floor is the kitchen, three reception rooms and a fifth double bedroom with an en suite bathroom. The original mill wheel is also found on the ground floor in a separate room, but is only accessible from outside the property. The water from the mill stream passes through the mill wheel room.
Between the ground and first floor is a double height drawing room which still retains some of the original pulleys and mechanisms of the former working mill. Over part of this room is a gallery which could be used as a study. There is also a large working fireplace and triple aspect views over the gardens and grounds.
On the first floor are four double bedrooms, with two bathrooms.
Bransbury Mill has one and a quarter miles of prime chalk stream fly fishing on the River Dever, one of the main tributaries of the world famous River Test.
The adjoining meadows have been sympathetically managed to maximise biodiversity and are a riot of colour from spring through to autumn with native wildflowers.
Steven Moore, head of residential sales at Savills Winchester, said: "The sale of Bransbury Mill presents a rare opportunity to buy a former mill house, separate cottage and over a mile of fishing on one of the finest chalk streams in southern England."
The nearest village is Barton Stacey which has a thriving community with village shop, public house and church. Stockbridge, with a wider range of boutique shops, a dental practice, delicatessens, restaurants and a hotel, is also nearby.
The property is listed with Savills for £4.95 million.
