Hunsett Mill, Norfolk, England by Acme:

“Hunsett Mill is a remote water pumping mill located in the historic Norfolk Broads National Park, situated beside the river and upstream from the Sutton Broads. The house was a residence for the keeper of the mill until 1900 when the advent of electricity rendered wind powered pumps obsolete. Since the end of its working life, the house has been used as a private residence, but has remained as an important piece of local heritage, standing adjacent to the well-known historic grade 2 listed Hunsett Mill.

Since the whole area around the mill constitutes protected conservation land, the aesthetic and sustainable value of the property is and has been of the utmost importance, and this is why we have recently completed a full restoration of the listed windmill and a renovation and extension to the mill keeper’s cottage.”
