Overview

Approaching the Mill along the 170m Tarmac drive, this is a perfectly tranquil setting and leads into a courtyard. The property underwent extensive renovation between 2011 and 2012 to provide luxury, tastefully presented accommodation and a ground floor self contained living area with direct outside access and a linking staircase to the remaining accommodation. Features of the old mill remain and outside a series of balancing pools lead down to the stream, attracting an abundance of wildlife. The present owners have an equestrian interest with stabling, tack room and 40m x 20m menage. The paddocks are divided for rotational grazing. Additionally there is a studio, large modern barn for secure storage and a 4 bay carport.

Accommodation

The property enjoys a spacious driveway with access to substantial outbuildings, carport, and beautifully maintained surrounding gardens. Entered from the ground floor through a stable door, this level offers exceptionally versatile accommodation that could easily be utilised as a self-contained annexe if required. The current ground floor layout comprises a spacious entrance hall, a reception room/bedroom with adjoining en-suite, a kitchenette with adjacent boot room/utility, and a delightful morning room.

A turning stone staircase rises to the principal first floor living accommodation, which can also be accessed via the formal entrance from the garden. The impressive sitting room enjoys a dual aspect and features an exposed inglenook fireplace housing a log burning stove, exposed beams, and stairs rising to the second floor. Doors lead to a study and an elegant drawing room, again benefitting from a dual aspect, exposed beams, a log burning stove, and direct access to the gardens.

The breakfast kitchen enjoys elevated views across the gardens and is fitted with a range of base cabinets with work surfaces over and including the Rangemaster oven, complemented by exposed beams. A dining room leads directly from the kitchen, creating a formal dining space.

The second floor provides three generous double bedrooms, all served by a stylish family bathroom fitted with a modern white suite comprising a WC, wash hand basin, freestanding bath, and walk-in shower.

Outside grounds

Accessed directly from the lane, a long driveway winds through the grounds, leading to a spacious parking area, lawned gardens, and an excellent range of outbuildings. These include an open-fronted four-bay carport, workshop, covered barn with concrete hardstanding, three loose boxes, and an adjoining 40ft barn. Across the courtyard are a log store, additional shelter, and a gardener’s WC.

The beautifully maintained gardens surround the mill, featuring expansive lawns, terraces, pathways, and areas of woodland bordered by the Rea Brook. Adjoining the formal gardens are four enclosed paddocks, together with a ménage and stable block comprising three stables, tack room, and shelter, all with power and water connected. In total the grounds extend to around 12.5 acres. Please note a public footpath crosses through the field furthest away from the house.
