The idyllic woodland setting of this four bedroom house belies the fact that the building was once part of a busy 19th century paper mill. Converted by the architect Brendan Woods in 1979, and extended by him at a later date, this is a remarkable and rare example of a former industrial building in a tranquil AONB (Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty) location.

History
The building was originally constructed in the early 19th century as part of the Fernside Paper Mills complex. It is thought that it was originally the coach house where the delivery vehicles and horses would have been kept. In the 1920s it became part of the Wye Valley Fishery, with trout being kept in the stone tanks where paper used to be processed. The property itself is documented as having being used as a large common room / canteen for the fishery workers. It has also been used as workshops before finally becoming a residence.
