With a recorded existence dating back to 1147, the mill was given as part of a canonical donation to a chapter of the Beaumont monastery, by Cécile, the Viscountess of Albi. It most likely became independent in 1316. Subsequently passed down from one generation to the next, it has guarded the vestiges of its millstream, pond and machinery.
Within the property, the grouped settlement is varied in nature. It includes two houses, that of the miller and that of the flour seller, as well as the mill itself. The architectural harmony of the whole is the result of using locally sourced schist in the construction of the walls and slate for the gabled roofs, while ashlar stone or wood is used for the window surrounds. The spaces are deftly organised in order to take full advantage of the exteriors.
The Miller's HouseThe property is accessed through a covered passageway, which shelters visitors from the elements. A glass door, whose window is surrounded by red ashlar stone, opens onto a living room with a vast open fireplace and stove. On the other side of the house is the fitted kitchen. The windows are original in size and have double-glazing. The joisted ceiling is painted white, while the floor is covered in modern tiles. The straight staircase that leads upstairs harmoniously separates the living room from the kitchen.
Upstairs, on the landing, a sculpted wooden guardrail extends the staircase. The floor is divided into two bedrooms as well as a shower room and an extra space
