Wrexham house that inspired Turner watermill painting on sale for £1.5m

The article you shared details the story of Brendan and Celia Wilson, who bought and renovated Rossett Mill, a Grade II-listed watermill house in Wrexham dating back to 1588. The property once inspired a painting by J.M.W. Turner, one of Britain’s most celebrated artists. The watermill was boarded up and uninhabitable 17 years ago when they purchased it for £660,000. After two years and £250,000 spent on renovations (including importing old oak beams from France), it was transformed into their beautiful family home. Now, after 15 years, the couple is putting the house on the market for £1.5 million as they move closer to their children.

The Turner painting inspired by the mill, titled **”Marford Mill”**, is held in the National Museum of Wales. The article includes images of both the historic mill home and Turner’s watercolour of the mill.
