A 17th-century mill house in Hampshire has been sensitively redeveloped with new spaces for creative work, blending conservation with sustainable design

Cooke Fawcett has redeveloped a 17th-century Grade II listed home in a water mill on the banks of the River Test in Hampshire, introducing a new artist studio and maker’s workshop building alongside an extension to the existing home. The project is described as a low-energy refurbishment designed to preserve the character of the historic property while adapting it for modern use.

Located within a Site of Special Scientific Interest and surrounded by settling ponds and the Mill Run, the redevelopment seeks to integrate with its natural and industrial heritage context.
