This distinctive three bedroom detached former mill offers an increasingly rare combination of character, privacy and lifestyle, set within approximately four acres of gardens, paddock and private woodland with river frontage.
Originally a watermill the property retains plenty of individual charm, with exposed stonework, feature beams and impressive inglenook fireplaces creating a warm and characterful feel throughout. The accommodation is generous and versatile, with a spacious kitchen and dining area, comfortable reception rooms and a large garden room providing excellent space for both everyday living and entertaining.
Outside, the setting is a major part of the appeal. The property is approached through large double gates onto an extensive circular driveway with ample parking and a central lawn and pond. With no close neighbours and mature grounds surrounding the house, there is an excellent sense of privacy and seclusion.
The gardens have been designed with entertaining and outdoor living in mind, with a swimming pool, hot tub and sheltered seating areas, while the grounds extend beyond into paddock and woodland. A further lawn leads down towards the valley and private river frontage, creating a particularly attractive and peaceful area of the property. The river and woodland provide a wonderful natural environment, with opportunities for private walks and fishing and an abundance of local wildlife. Part of the woodland is understood to be designated as a Site of Special Scientific Interest.
There is also an excellent range of practical space, including substantial workshop and storage buildings, additional gated access and plenty of room for vehicles, hobbies or further uses subject to any necessary consents. There is direct access from the courtyard into the adjoining field, making the land particularly accessible and versatile
For buyers seeking something genuinely individual, this is a superb lifestyle property combining character accommodation, extensive grounds, privacy and excellent outdoor space in an attractive rural setting.
