THE PROPERTY
Warren Mill House is believed to date back to 1827 when it was built as the Mill House to the former ‘Warren Mill’, which was taken down and removed in 1904. Presenting predominantly painted brick and colour washed rendered elevations under a series of slate roofs, the property boasts well-proportioned, extended and versatile accommodation arranged over three floors, as well as an annexe building, which would be ideal for a number of uses including a possible annexe/ancillary accommodation. Restored, extended and sympathetically modernised by the current vendors, Warren Mill House is an extremely comfortable family home with versatile accommodation occupying a fabulous location.

The entrance hall with stairs leading to the first floor leads into the accommodation with a sitting room featuring an open fireplace with surround and mantle, arches to each side and a sash window to the front aspect. The dining room also has a sash window to the front aspect and a tiled floor. The impressive kitchen/breakfast room measures around 37’ in length and features a four oven Aga, Butler’s sink, a combination of wood and granite worksurfaces and matching units including display cupboards. There is a walk-in pantry, a mix of tiled floor and floorboards, windows to the rear aspect, a door to the side lobby and a door leading into the drawing room, which is an impressive extension measuring over 21’ x 18’ with windows and French doors to the front aspect. Continuing on the ground floor there is a side lobby and a cloakroom. The lower ground floor is predominantly converted and feature’s part panelled walls and is used as a cinema room or occasional ancillary bedroom. There is a further cellar storage room.

On the first floor the landing features a sash window to the front aspect and leads to two front bedrooms with one having an en-suite bathroom. There are two further rear bedrooms, another en-suite bathroom and a family bathroom.

OUTSIDE
The gardens and grounds are a particular feature of Warren Mill House and have been thoughtfully laid out and well kept with large areas of formal lawns flanking the shingle drive with an abundance of mature trees and hedging, a large shingle parking area, which leads to the recently constructed triple bay cartlodge with an attached office/gym/hobby room. There is a large machinery barn/garden store and adjoining is an annexe building, which currently features a large games room/sitting room measuring 21’ x 18’5, a bathroom and a further room, currently being used as a laundry room. It is believed that a self-contained annexe could easily be created. Continuing through the gardens there is a side seating area, mature hedging and access through to the rear of the property where there is an air source heated swimming pool with a sandstone surround and terraced seating area. Behind mature hedging there is a further area of land with young trees, abutting farmland to the rear. In all approaching 1 acre (sts).
