An enchanting Grade II listed former Corn Mill, in a magical setting with outbuildings, stables and approximately 3 acres.
Description
The Old Corn Mill is an extremely charming property with plenty of character and offers a wonderful country lifestyle with far reaching views towards the Stiperstones and the Callow.
The original part of the house dates back to 1650 and some of the original mill workings are still in situ, blending in very well with the exposed stone work and beams which are evident throughout the property. The accommodation is laid out over three floors and offers an extremely welcoming and comforting feel.
The original front door opens into the dining room where there is a stone inglenook fireplace with a Dutch oil burning stove along with workings of the old mill. Steps lead down to a hallway, and alternative entrance with a WC and the kitchen breakfast room, which has a number of fitted units and fully glazed windows with views over the courtyard and ford.
An old millstone is the base for a spiral staircase which leads up to the first floor landing, with a double bedroom which has mezzanine storage. There is also a separate family bathroom.
A door and a set of steps lead through to the fabulous sitting room which has a large stone inglenook fireplace with a wood burning stove and a glazed door leading out to the garden and what was the original mill pond. A further spiral staircase takes you onto the second floor landing where there are a further two bedrooms, one of which currently serves as a home office.
Outside
The Old Corn Mill is accessed via a pretty ford into a large parking area with a central garden feature. The traditional outbuildings are situated to the edge of the parking area and comprise of a stable, workshop and a garage. These buildings were granted planning permission in 1992 to be demolished and replaced with a dwelling.
The gardens at The Old Corn Mill are truly magical and are partly elevated to enjoy the views and mostly comprise of the original mill pond, which is now laid to lawn offering a great space. Mature beds, planted with David Austin roses flank the borders and a raised decking seating area enjoys the views and the quaint duck pond. There is an orchard planted with productive plum, apple and damson trees and the Brockton Brook gently bubbles along the boundary which is a very pretty feature.
A picturesque path leads you through a small copse and into the paddock area which has two wooden stables and a tack shed. There is access to the brook at the far end of the field.
