Mill History
The Mill's origins are enveloped in mystery, its exact foundation date unknown. It is believed to have undergone significant renovations around 1766, concurrent with the construction of the adjacent Mill House.
The earliest record of paper production at the Mill dates back to 1791, highlighted by a catalogue printed on paper from Prendergast Paper Mills, a cherished artifact held by the Pembrokeshire Society. At its peak, the Mill was a hive of industry, employing about 150 workers and spurring the development of Prendergast through the construction of homes for its workforce.
Seller's Note
"Thirty-six years ago, we discovered the Mill in a state of neglect but saw its potential as an exceptional family residence. We were captivated by the tranquility of its riverside location, the Georgian architecture, and the expansive grounds. It has been a source of joy and contentment."
The sellers cherish the diverse and verdant views from every window, attributing these vistas to the home's welcoming ambiance. "It has served as an ideal family home, providing spaces for togetherness as well as personal retreat. The attached holiday cottage has proven to be a lucrative rental and a welcoming space for guests."
A highlight is the Music Room, especially during the festive season, where family traditions of carols and celebration are cherished. The dual living rooms and the bustling kitchen, with its generous table and additional pantry space, have been central to family life.
"The decision to part with this enchanting home is bittersweet, yet we hope to pass it on to a new family to fill with laughter and happiness once again."
