Mill Farm, Low Mill

Farndale, North York Moors National Park

Mill Farm is a listed former farmhouse and collection of outbuildings located in the hamlet of Low Mill in Farndale. The site is located close to the start of the famous daffodil walk that attracts visitors every spring to view the wild daffodils along the River Dove.

The site was home to a former butchers, smithy and Post Office that have all now closed. The vacant site was in a very poor condition when we started work to convert and sensitively repair the existing buildings.

The site now plays host to 2 holiday let cottages, a local occupancy rental house and the first village shop to open in Farndale for over 100 years.

Bramhall Blenkharn Leonard worked with a team of talented consultants and contractors to convert the buildings, including a full repoint in hot-lime mortar and internal hot-lime insulating plaster and limecrete floors. Interiors by Jess Brook Design and contracting by Harland Builders Ltd.
