House of the week
Warwickshire, £1.95 million
Surely one of the most distinctive conversions in the country — with a notable wartime history to boot. The former mill in Rowington, five miles northwest of Warwick, was constructed in 1780 before ceasing operations in 1918, when it served as a prisoner of war dormitory. In the 1970s, after decades of neglect, it was transformed into a home before being converted by the current owners over the last 12 years into a four-bedroom property, with new kitchen and bathrooms built, intricately and painstakingly, around the original building’s infrastructure. hamptons.co.uk
