Ultra modern living in historic mill setting A stunning collection of new apartments at Chudleigh Mill, on the outskirts of Yeovil, offers the perfect answer for those who want to live in a historic building with bags of character without sacrificing their 21st century comforts.

Developers TST Properties have carefully restored the original stone built Mill and Mill House and added new contrasting lightweight buildings to created ten fabulous apartments with ultra contemporary internal styling.

"In my twenty years in Yeovil I have never seen anything to match these," says Jeremy Smith of selling agents Connells. "TST Properties have done an amazing job of blending traditional and modern to create something very, very special."

The design of the buildings incorporates many original timbers, zinc and glass architecture, decking and balconies. Internally they are equally stunning, with Farrow & Ball paints throughout and bespoke kitchens, bathrooms and bedroom furniture. A sophisticated wiring system allows for the flexible use of technology and multi media throughout the home, including the bathroom, and numerous ecologically sensitive features have been incorporated creating probably the most energy efficient homes in the area.

Special features include a rainwater harvesting system to reduce the demand for clean mains supplied water and a small hydro powered electricity generator plant on site which is expected to provide more than twice the entire electrical power requirement for the development.

The majority of the apartments have their own balcony, terrace or garden areas and all have allocated parking spaces.

Chudleigh Mill, where prices start at £175,000 for a one bedroom home, is ideally located close to Yeovil town centre. The mainline rail station around half a mile away provides a fast, frequent service to London whilst the A27 and A35 give access to the surrounding beautiful countryside and the vibrant towns of Bournemouth and Poole.
