Simply stunning! Grove Mill incorporating Grove Mill House, The Granary and The Retreat, is a detached working mill featuring 4560 sqft (424 sqm) of accommodation which facilitates a large range of scenarios for flexible family living and/or Airbnb and is set in beautiful gardens on a plot approaching 0.40 acres (0.16 hectares) straddling the wonderful Letcombe Brook. Despite this homes history it is not a listed building and has been meticulously improved and updated throughout by the current owners, fusing modernity with period charm. This eco-friendly dream generates electricity for its own use with any surplus exported to the grid. Notwithstanding the electricity generation from Letcombe Brook, Grove Mill sits in an oasis of nature and wildlife, its own ecosystem, although not within a conservation area, juxtaposed to electric car charging facilities, double garage and both driveway and courtyard parking for over six vehicles. Whilst the actual date of construction is somewhat unclear a mill on this site can be traced back to the Domesday Book and the beautiful period timbers provide not only a solid structure but much charm and character throughout.
