Chalmers Mill is a spacious and well-designed property which enjoys all the benefits of modern design combined with an historic setting. A water mill was built in Ceres in around 1800 and early records indicate that it was owned by a Mr Chalmers. The mill gradually fell into ruin and by the 1990s a local farmer used the site as a pig sty until its conversion into a residential property. A stylized carving on the north-facing wall indicates that the main structure of the house was built in 2000. In 2003, Chalmers Mill received an award for the contribution the property makes to the appearance of Ceres. There is under floor heating throughout the ground floor apart from the sun room.

Accommodation:

Front door leading to a hall. A cloakroom with a WC and a door to a single garage lead off from this. The garage has plumbing, electricity and a Belfast sink. Double doors from the hall lead into the open plan kitchen/dining room and sitting room, with a wood burning stove separating these two areas. The kitchen is fitted with bespoke German units and is triple aspect. There is a large island with storage cupboards. Appliances include Lamona four ring induction hob, Siemens integrated dishwasher, Siemens fridge freezer, Siemens oven and Prestige microwave. French doors from the kitchen lead out onto a balcony overlooking the Ceres Burn. This balcony walk way leads towards the main garden. The sitting room is double aspect with two sets of French doors leading to the balcony which wraps around the property. There is a sun room with further French doors leading to a south-facing patio.

A beech staircase leads to the first floor, where the galleried landing could be used as a study or a library. The current owners have installed a large fitted wardrobe here. The principal bedroom has a large walk-in wardrobe and en suite wet shower room. There is a small south-facing balcony.

On the other side of the landing is a further double bedroom, bathroom and single bedroom/study. There is partially floored attic which can be accessed from the landing via a Ramsay ladder.

Outside:
Chalmers Mill is accessed via a bridge and gravel driveway. Its vegetation has both Scottish and Japanese influences, with sycamores, rhododendrons, ferns and bamboos lining the driveway. Ceres Burn runs alongside the property and Chalmers Mill owns this stretch of the burn. In addition to the main garden, at the rear of the house is a sheltered south-facing patio. A garden shed was erected at the front of the property in 2022.
