Addicroft Mill

Addicroft Mill is an enchanting Grade II listed Cornish mill house that has been meticulously and extensively renovated and restored to an exceptionally high standard in recent years. It is situated in a peaceful, rural setting with extensive river frontage, lakes and fishing rights.
The property extends to about 8.4 acres in total and includes a five bedroom mill house, an adjoining one bedroom annexe and a detached self-contained one-bedroom annexe. It also includes a swimming pool, tennis court, outbuildings and paddocks. The listing describes Addicroft Mill House as a watermill with attached house and suggest that there has been a mill at Addicroft Mill since 1663 although it has not functioned as a mill for 30 years.

Addicroft Mill is a rare gem, a building that has grown and developed over the years into a captivating house which combines the fascination of its past history and as a corn mill with an immaculate and cleverly designed, functional family home. There are four open fires on the ground with back-up gas-fired central heating from an LPG gas tank. The front door leads into an open plan hallway and sitting room with an open fire and slate flag floors. Beyond is the kitchen and staircase. The open plan kitchen has a electric, four door AGA. This leads through into the conservatory, the other side of which is the games room. Doors from the conservatory and games room lead out onto the southeast-facing terrace. The games room leads back through to the hallway and sitting room. A door off the sitting room leads through into the mill room which still contains the majority of working parts to the original watermill and includes the original water wheel
beside which is the water flowing from a leet off the River Lynher. Beyond the staircase is a covered loggia which leads round to a patio and pergola that is draped in grape vines. Beyond this is a flat lawn and the ponds.
The curved staircase lead up to the first floor landing and corridor off which are five bedrooms and family bathroom. One of the bedrooms is currently used as an office and the principal bedroom has a vaulted ceiling and an en suite bathroom (with both a bath and a shower) and surrounded by original working pieces from the mill. Two of the bedrooms have ladders leading up to mezzanine sleeping areas above. A door off the corridor leads out onto a roof terrace. The guest bedroom has a vaulted ceiling and an en suite bathroom (with both a jacuzzi bath and a shower). There is also a laundry
washing area on the first floor.
External steps from the parking area lead up to an area beside the water wheel to a spiral staircase leading up to the sixth bedroom which has a bath within the bedroom and a separate WC. There is parking in front of the house for five or more vehicles. Opposite the parking area is the original Cider Barn, a detached building within which is the original granite and wood cider press.
The Cider Barn is a two storey, self-contained annexe with a sitting room and galley kitchen downstairs and stairs leading up to a double bedroom and bathroom on the first floor.

Gardens, grounds and outbuildings
The kitchen garden is particularly special and has a number of raised beds, a pond, herbaceous border and a top-end greenhouse. It has cold frames and its own reservoir. The tennis court has been recently resurfaced and the outdoor swimming pool has two air source heat pumps housed within the wooden pool house. There are a series of varying sized ponds, one of which has an island and two pontoons. There is a disused hydroelectric plant, that is currently not in use, that could provide electricity off a leat from the River Lynher. A meandering stream flows through the garden linking the ponds.
There is a treehouse and fruit cages beside the River Lynher. Central to the garden is an immaculate croquet lawn beside which is a sunken hot tub. In addition to the bluebell wood and further woodland there is also a paddock.
