Hunsett Mill is a remote water pumping mill,
situated beside the river and upstream
from Sutton Broad. The house was a
residence for the keeper of the mill until
1900, when the advent of electricity
rendered wind-powered pumps obsolete.
Since the end of its working life, the house
has been used as a private residence, but
has remained as an important piece of local
heritage, standing adjacent to the well-
known historic grade 2 listed Hunsett Mill.

Since the whole area around the mill
constitutes protected conservation land,
the aesthetic and sustainable value of
the property is and has been of the utmost
importance. This is why the owners have
recently completed a full restoration of
the listed windmill and a renovation and
extension to the millkeeper's cottage.
