A truly exceptional former mill, beautifully converted and extended to create a unique country residence of outstanding character and charm. Set within about 3 acres of mature woodland and landscaped grounds, the property enjoys a peaceful setting and offers an abundance of original period features combined with modern family living.

Believed to date from the mid-18th century, the property has been sympathetically restored, preserving many of the mill’s historic features including exposed stone walls, original cast iron wheel mechanisms, working mill components and the original water wheel. Throughout the home, impressive, vaulted ceilings, exposed pitch pine beams, handcrafted pitch pine joinery and timber detailing provide a wonderful sense of heritage and authenticity. The accommodation extends to approximately 2,987 sq ft and is arranged over a series of interconnected levels, creating a home of considerable interest and character.

The reception hall provides an impressive introduction. The principal living room is particularly striking, with its vaulted reclaimed mill ceiling, exposed pitch pine trusses, original mill workings and french doors opening onto a deck over the water wheel and mill race.

A formal dining room enjoys views over the gardens and direct access to the outdoor terraces, while the well-appointed kitchen features bespoke pine cabinetry and a range of integrated appliances. The bedroom accommodation comprises four/five further generously proportioned bedrooms, two of which benefit from ensuite facilities. Two bedrooms enjoy the unique outlook of the spectacular wheel hall, offering a striking reminder of the building’s industrial heritage.

GROUNDS
Externally, the property is approached through an attractive enclosed courtyard, accessed via gates from the lane and opening into beautifully maintained gardens. Brick paviour pathways create an elegant approach, centred around a circular feature with raised lawn areas and attractive seating spaces. A brick paviour patio provides an ideal setting for outdoor entertaining, while enclosed bin storage and extensive exterior lighting have been thoughtfully incorporated.

The grounds extend to about 3 acres and comprise an exceptional area of ancient woodland situated within a designated Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty and an area of Special Scientific Interest. Carefully nurtured and developed over many years, the woodland provides a private and tranquil setting with a rich variety of wildlife and birdlife.

The grounds have been planted with an extensive selection of native species including mature oak, beech and ash trees, together with a natural carpet of bluebells, wild garlic and woodland anemones, providing an ever-changing display throughout the seasons. Meandering pathways have been thoughtfully carved through the woodland, allowing residents and guests to explore and enjoy this remarkable natural environment, ultimately leading down to the stream and enhancing the property’s unique connection with its idyllic waterside setting.

Offering an exceptional degree of privacy and seclusion, the grounds provide a rare combination of mature woodland, landscaped gardens and riverside amenity, creating a peaceful retreat that perfectly complements the historic character and charm of the former mill.
