A stylish apartment in a former Victorian tweed mill.
This is a rare opportunity to acquire a stylish apartment in the iconic Bliss Mill building, set in six acres of well-tended grounds.
Bliss Mill is an impressive Grade II* listed property, built in 1872 from Cotswold stone and lined with attractive Victorian brick as a tweed mill to supply fabric for military uniforms and horse blankets.
The building was converted in the late 1980s to offer exclusive luxury living. The wide range of amenities include dedicated indoor parking, ample visitor parking and two lifts serving all floors. The leisure complex has an indoor heated swimming pool, sauna, jaccuzzi, tennis court, squash court and gymnasium. The terrace behind the leisure centre is where residents are able to enjoy al fresco' dining, looking out over the recently landscaped garden, in one corner of which is an area for playing boules'.
The complex is managed by a full time site manager and assistant site manager, both of whom are dedicated to efficiency, cleanliness and very high standards of maintenance. The site staff are ably supported by a board of residents.
21 Bliss Mill is a unique home providing immaculately presented accommodation with wonderful far reaching rural views. The property retains attractive original features which reveal the industrial origins of the building.
The accommodation includes a spacious entrance hall and a kitchen with a range of units with integrated appliances. There is space for a table and chairs providing a lovely place to enjoy breakfast. The sitting/dining room is very well-proportioned with exposed brick walls, a stunning brick barrel vaulted ceiling and tall windows allowing plenty of natural light to flood in. There is a spacious principal bedroom with en suite bathroom, two further double bedrooms, a family bathroom and a shower room. All the bedrooms benefit from tall windows. Bedrooms 2 and 3 have fitted cupboards.
The property benefits from a garage with electricity and storage as well as an allocated parking space.

Bliss Mill is a unique building set in rolling Cotswold countryside. I am in love with the period features, particularly the brick barrel vaulted ceiling. The communal amenities are second to none.
