History: In addition to Mostert’s Mill which has already been mentioned, there are other very interesting buildings on the Welgelegen estate which was granted to Cornelis Stevensz Botma in 1676. Just below the Mill there is a T-shaped house. This is probably the oldest remaining house on the estate and was undoubtedly originally occupied by the miller. A little lower still, but much further back from the road, stands the present house of Welgelegen. It was built by Sir Herbert Baker on the same site where the original double-storeyed dwelling of Welgelegen had stood. A fine gateway gives access to these properties. It was probably built at the end of the eighteenth century by Jacob van Reenen or his son Dirk Gysbert van Reenen who were then the owners of Welgelegen.
