The Old Mill

The property: This beautifully appointed former Victorian mill has been sympathetically restored and enhanced over the past eight years by the current owners to create comfortable and characterful home. The Old Mill provides well proportioned accommodation with an easy flow of rooms which are orientated toward superb views over the grounds and gardens.

To the ground floor, a large entrance hall leads into the dual aspect drawing room with inglenook fireplace housing a log burning stove. A stunning bespoke David Orton kitchen is comprehensively fitted with range of elegant units and features a Smeg range cooker, range of integrated appliances and dining area. An adjoining utility room and separate cloakroom complete the ground floor accommodation.

Stairs rise to the first floor where an elegant dual aspect principal bedroom is most notable, with apex ceiling, en-suite bathroom and Juliette balcony. A further three individually styled bedrooms are served by a contemporary family bathroom.

Outbuilding
Across the shingle courtyard from the main house is a converted double garage. Currently used as an additional entertaining space for a superb games room, it is a versatile addition with two sets of bi fold doors and staircase to the first floor. Ideal for those running a business or working from home. Alternatively, subject to the relevant planning permissions, could serve as ancillary accommodation with an existing bedroom and en suite shower room to the ground floor.
