Sutton Mill House is a handsome Grade II, Listed Georgian House, built in Norfolk Gault bricks under a tiled roof. The house built in 1778 is mentioned in Nikolaus Pevsner’s The Buildings of England " as being of historical importance, in particular for the fluted columns and pilasters that support the curved porch". The house, on three floors, has elegant well-proportioned rooms typical of the period with ornate cornices throughout. There is an original spiral staircase leading up from the hall to the first and second floors. The house has particularly ornate Venetian style Georgian sash windows to the front elevation and sash windows to the remainder of the house.
The present owners purchased the property in 1986 adding an east wing extension in 1988. In 2006 they embarked on a complete programme of renovation.
The ground floor accommodation comprises a limestone floored entrance hall leading to elegant drawing and dining rooms, both of which have the original cornices. The third reception room is fitted out as a study. The large kitchen/breakfast room features bespoke hand-made American oak units with Zambian granite worktops covering Bosch dishwasher, freezer and fridge.
