The Prémol mill, which can be reached via a stony track, dates back to 1350. It was modernised and extended in 1820. In 1987, a low head turbine was installed. This functioning and carefully maintained mechanism produces around 50% of the electricity consumed by the home. The building has 3 storeys and is L-shaped.
It has a gabled roof in traditional locally produced tiles and its elevations, which have been entirely restored and repainted, are rendered and dotted with windows of different sizes with large panes and louvred shutters. An indoor swimming pool underlines the home’s comfort.
The mill is surrounded by a vast wooded park, through which a stream runs, and overlooks a mill race, forming several islets. The estate is completed by approximately 7,000 m² of woodland on the edge of the Grand Morin area.
The mill also has two outbuildings. Firstly, at the entrance to the estate, there is a garage/workshop with a flat, grassed roof that blends in perfectly with the garden. Lastly, there is a brick-built outbuilding used for storage at the eastern end of the grounds, behind a hedge of hazelnut trees.

The mill

In the 14th century, it was used for milling grain and only possessed two storeys. In the 19th century, a three-storey extension was added to the original building.

The ground floor
It is divided between an older part - dating back to the 14th century - and a more recent part - added in the 19th century.
You can enter the first part on the ground floor via the old mill building, into an entrance hall paved with old square terracotta tiles. On one side, it leads to a small lounge, with a terracotta tiled floor and a tiled wood-burning stove. From the lounge you can reach an enclosed garden. There is a modest office adjacent to the lounge, with a window overlooking the mill race. The entrance hall also leads to a toilet, a storeroom, as well as the machinery room, which groups the elements for producing and regulating the current produced by the electric generator driven by the turbine. The machinery room is adjacent to the mill’s entrance.
The second part of the building, perpendicular to the first and up a small flight of steps, can be reached via an elevator harmoniously integrated into the house. A cast-iron spiral staircase dating from the 1900s leads to the upper level. An open-plan fitted kitchen with an island unit opens out onto a spacious dining room bathed in light, with a floor tiled with local Burgundy stone slabs. The room has many windows, including one opening to the east as well as French windows that open onto a balcony providing panoramic views of the mill race. A double-leafed glazed door leads to an outside patio and the banks of the mill race. Lastly, there is a 6 metre by 3 metre heated indoor swimming pool equipped with a counter-current swimming system and whirlpool jets. The room housing the swimming pool is fitted with a dehumidifier. Two large windows on separate walls give maximum exposure to sunlight and lead out into the inner garden. A walk-in shower and a toilet complete this relaxation area.
The first floor
In the older part, a corridor leads to two bedrooms with large ceiling heights as well as exposed beams and joists. A third room can be used as a small bedroom or an office. All the windows, which are south-facing, ensure maximum exposure to sunlight. A large bathroom bathed in light and a toilet complete the western wing of the mill.
For the most recent part, the staircase and elevator lead to a landing that in turn leads to a large through lounge bathed in light via two picture windows and three tilting windows, which give an admirable and soothing view of the mill race on one side and the stream on the other. Piedmont flooring - made up of old terracotta tiles crossed with oak lathes - can be found in this room. A functioning fireplace as well as exposed beams and joists complete the décor. The landing also leads to a master bedroom that is flooded with light through an east facing window overlooking the mill race and French windows that open onto the south-facing balcony overlooking the garden. This room also has Piedmont flooring as well as exposed beams and joists on the ceiling. A bathroom with walk-in shower and toilet completes this level.
The second floor
An oak staircase leads to a landing with a south-facing window. A short flight of steps leads to a fourth bedroom. A corridor leads to a vast attic measuring around 70 m² with a mezzanine of approximately 30 m². The presence of opening windows and wooden flooring mean this space can be easily converted.
