It has been thoughtfully extended and upgraded by the current owners and offers beautifully presented accommodation that is finished to a very high standard. It benefits from oil fired central heating, double glazing and wood burning stove while offering excellent potential to further develop if required. Set within approximately 4.5 acres of garden/grounds, it offers total privacy, peace and tranquillity. Sit and unwind in the colourful rear garden or relax on the decked area and listen to the original mill waterwheel. The land offers paddocks, ideal for equestrian or livestock, wetlands, perfect for the local wildlife, hard standing that would offer the potential of an arena and a range of garden areas and walkways.
