An exceptional converted former mill in an exquisite setting in the Donheads.
Description
Constructed of local stone, under a clay tile and slate tile roof, this unique Grade II listed mill has undergone an imaginative and meticulous ground-up renovation programme, conducted over a three year period by renowned local builders Mouldings. The result is a home of outstanding quality and charm, in a secluded and idyllic setting, overlooking its own mill pond.
The spacious entrance hall opens into a stunning 38ft kitchen/dining/sitting room, created from the original central ‘mill’ section of the property. Split-level, with a glass balustrade separating the raised sitting room area from the kitchen/dining end of the room, this striking dual-aspect, largely double-height, area has vaulted ceilings, with impressive oak beams and exposed stone walls. The bespoke kitchen, with a dining area and wood-burning stove to one end, has wooden cabinetry under quartz work-surfaces, a range cooker and Butlers sink. A large laundry/utility room, with stone floors, has a range of fitted cupboards, under quartz work-surfaces, a sink, plumbing for washing machine and dryer and accesses one of the two cloakrooms. There is an external door from the utility onto the drive. From the hall, is a turned staircase opening into a family sitting room/home office. Dual aspect, this light and spacious room has vaulted ceilings and enjoys views over its mill pond to one side and a small lake to the other.
The bedrooms are located, over two floors, in the original late Georgian section of the property. The principal bedroom has an en suite dressing room and shower room. Three further double bedrooms are also en suite. All of the bedrooms are dual-aspect, with pretty garden or water-side views. This end of the house has an additional cloakroom/WC accessed from a hallway off the main open-plan living space. The property has two integrated plant/storage rooms, one with bi-fold doors onto the drive, and an additional garden storage room, with a stable-door onto the drive. Underfloor heating runs throughout the house, apart from the bedrooms, which are serviced by gas-fired vintage-look radiators.
