| Many people have found the cost of hydro power prohibitively expensive, despite the return on investment being considerably greater than most alternative investments. At Hewletts Mill, the brief was to get the maximum return for the least investment, while also respecting the special nature of the historic mill and it surroundings. By installing a water wheel, the garden has gained a superb focal point which heats the house in winter, and has eliminated huge swimming pool heating costs in summer. Energy bills have been slashed, and the visual and financial worth of the property enhanced. |
