Beard Mill
Sympathetic renovation and partial rebuilding of Beard Mill - a Grade II listed water mill in Stanton Harcourt, Oxfordshire.
Part of the original mill dates from c.1575 with a later extension from the mid-nineteenth century. It straddles the River Windrush and originally housed two water wheels for processing grain stored in the upper floors. Prior to the renovations the building was in very poor condition, with many rotten timbers, damp walls and an asbestos roof.
The mill now houses additional family space, guest accommodation and a state of the art ultrasound
clinic. Beard Mill won the prestigious RIBA Ibstock Downland Prize in 2007 and was selected as one of six finalists out of sixty entries in the Grand Designs Awards restoration category.
