A truly rare opportunity to purchase this 19th century B
listed
disused grain mill located on the island of Shapinsay not far
from
the ferry terminal and overlooking Elwick Bay and Balfour
Castle.
Elwick Mill was built in 1893 and was once the largest water
powered
grinding mill in Orkney.
The mill occupies a large site with a drive leading to a parking
area,
a sheltered area with kilns and up to the mill with a workshop
to the
side, a large garden to the rear and a static caravan.
The property requires renovation throughout.
Some of the working parts of the mill are still in tact and
still work
including the water wheel.
There was previous planning in place for conversion however
this
has since expired.
Split over three floors the rooms are spacious and offer
potential
to convert to a dwelling or perhaps a gallery or self
catering
accommodation with the appropriate consents from the local
council.
