Mill House

DESCRIPTION

An opportunity to purchases a former Mill House which has been extended and offers accommodation over 3 floors. The house has had a number of planning applications submitted for it. The current owner has undertaken works on the house, including a complete rewire, central heating (no boiler) and first fix was done before the property was left approximately 7 years ago; this is shown in pink on the attached plan. There is also an additional building on the site which has become derelict, this building extends to approximately 54m2. (Shown in red on the attached plan). The property sits in an area of 8.21 acres, being a mix of both pasture and woodland. The pasture extends to approximately 3.21 acres and the woodland, which wraps around the access way and house, extends to approximately 5 acres.

PLANNING HISTORY

There have been a number of planning application submitted for the house and the buildings on the site. The reference number for the application which the house has been extended under is Mendip District Council Application No. 102228/07. There was an application submitted in 2010 for the erection of two car ports, log store and home office for The Mill House which was approved, however, this was not started so has now lapsed. This is under planning application No. 102228/010. There has also been an application made for the conversion of the derelict building on site to form holiday accommodation, again this was approved but not started, and has now lapsed. This is under planning application No. 102228/009

ACCOMMODATION

The layout of the house currently offers a large kitchen/diner area, lounge, and a formal dining area on the ground floor. The first floor offers 4 bedrooms, with the master being en-suite, and a large family bathroom. The second floor offers a large lounge area, which opens to a viewing platform. The house has been finished to a stage that it has been dry lined and first fix has been undertaken. The house benefits from period features including exposed wooden beams.
There is a second building on site which has become derelict over time, however the footprint is still there, which extends to 54m2, it is possible this could provide an income, subject to appropriate planning consents.

OUTSIDE

The house and land is accessed via a driveway coming off Parsonage Lane; this leads past a number of other properties and the house is at the end of the driveway. The field, which lies to the east of the property, is pasture, however it is currently overgrown. The field has a stream running through it and is surrounded by mature hedgerows. The field is accessed by a gateway next to the house. The woodland surrounds the house and accessway. This is made up of a number of indigenous tree species. There are footpaths running through both the field and woodland and are shown on the plan as green dashed lines.

The property is located within a valley in the desirable area of Chilcompton. The village offers a number of amenities, including a shop, pub, primary school and church. There are also good links to Radstock and, further afield, Bath.
