This uniquehouse was originally home to a powerful Victorian steam engine which provided energy to operate the looms and mechanical equipment across the whole mill complex. The importance and prestige of the engine house is reflected in the architectural emphasis placed on it when it was built 150 years ago. It has an enormous cut stone arch and lofty proportions. The impressive original roof structure is sand blasted and left exposed over the upper storey double-height living space. Leading from the lounge and dining area is a magnificent south-facing balcony with breathtaking views. Access to the engine house is provided by a new staircase in a new glass slot through the adjacent weaving shed. In addition to the impressive living accommodation the engine house has three bedrooms (two with ensuite facilities) and a family bathroom.
