About this property

  • Pope Mill Farm is set in about 7.5 acres surrounded by mature trees and set within an 18 hole golf course, boasting stunning grounds divided into a formal garden and paddocks. Originally the site of a water mill, the property now comprises a Grade II listed 15th century house, an Estate Office, a party barn, stables, a three-bay cart lodge and store. The main house is entered through a charming hallway with an oak front door, flagstone flooring and oak panelling. The sitting room, with dual-aspect windows, an open fireplace, exposed oak beams, and open studwork, leads to a study area equipped with fitted oak bookcases and views over the rear courtyard. The spacious dining room benefits from high ceilings, oak flooring, a herringbone brick fireplace with a wood-burning stove, and a staircase to the first floor. Adjacent is a sitting room with dual-aspect garden views. The kitchen is beautifully fitted with a Knights Country Kitchen under a granite worktop and includes integrated appliances, a Butler sink, and a large walk-in pantry. A stable door opens to a sun room with views over the gardens, a partly vaulted ceiling with light oak windows and French doors out to the formal gardens. A rear hall provides access to a shower room.

    On the first floor, accessed from the dining room and rear hallway, there is a landing area leading to the principal bedroom which features exposed beams, built-in storage and a bespoke oak dressing table with vanity sink. The second and fourth bedrooms are double rooms with views across the gardens and exposed beams, while the main bathroom offers a jacuzzi spa bath and heated towel rail. An additional landing provides access to two further bedrooms, including a single bedroom, a bathroom with a panel bath and shower, and a staircase leading to the second floor. The second floor consists of additional bedrooms, including one built into the eaves and a versatile room with exposed beams and access to loft space, which could be used as a playroom or study.

    The Estate Office, with an integrated cart lodge, includes a kitchenette fitted with modern appliances and a bathroom with a large shower, bath and vanity sink unit. Upstairs, a spacious area with an apex vaulted window and Velux window houses two large rooms with additional storage. A Grade II listed barn, partly used for agricultural purposes and partly as a party barn, features a vaulted ceiling and mezzanine level. The estate also includes a stable block with two stables, a tack room, and a workshop.

    There is an ample amount of parking, with a rear courtyard, a three-bay cart lodge, and an adjacent workshop. The property is accessed via a sweeping, tree-lined driveway flanked by the golf course, leading to a bridge over the river and through electronically controlled wrought iron gates. The grounds open up with a charming mill pond surrounded by mature trees, including willows and monkey puzzle trees.

    A gravel driveway circles in front of the house, encircling a cedar tree. The formal gardens consist of expansive lawns, mature trees, flower beds, an orchard, vegetable beds, and an ancient quince tree. These gardens are separated from the paddocks by a field drain, with paddocks enclosed by post and rail fencing, providing ample space for equestrian use.
