John and Wendy Credland first came across Grade II listed Lenwade Mill when Mrs Credland read the 18th century diaries of Parson Woodforde, which mentioned the building. When they viewed it, however, they fell in love with its waterside setting as much as its history. The mill, which retains plenty of original features, including a piece of the engine drive shaft, overlooks deep pools that are home to kingfishers and swans. 'It is an absolutely fantastic house to live in,' says Mrs Credland.'I do spend an enormous amount of time drinking coffee and looking out of the window and watching the water flow by.'

Country Life

Country Life is unlike any other magazine: the only glossy weekly on the newsstand and the only magazine that has been guest-edited by HRH The King not once, but twice. It is a celebration of modern rural life and all its diverse joys and pleasures — that was first published in Queen Victoria's Diamond Jubilee year. Our eclectic mixture of witty and informative content — from the most up-to-date property news and commentary and a coveted glimpse inside some of the UK's best houses and gardens, to gardening, the arts and interior design, written by experts in their field — still cannot be found in print or online, anywhere else.
