About this property

  • The Mill House is characterised by a beautiful blend of traditional exterior style alongside more contemporary elements within. Constructed over three floors, the property's origins lie in the old stone mill building which is around 150 years old, and the house has been cleverly crafted into the land, resulting in a wonderfully imaginative design which showcases a wealth of stunning countryside views to the hills beyond and the bordering riverbanks.

    Internally the property is entered on the ground floor level and a timber staircase leads to the lower level where the open plan kitchen and family areas very much form the hub of the house. An expanse of glazing including double doors opening out into the gardens ensures high levels of natural light and a real sense of bringing the outdoors in, while a wood burning stove adds a warm and comfortable feel in the winter months. This generously sized open plan space is superb for entertaining all year round, as well being both practical and inviting for modern family living. The kitchen itself is a series of sub surface cupboards underneath a Silestone work surface. There is an Everhot electric range cooker including hob and an integrated dishwasher. The property benefits from oak flooring throughout the ground floor and all the windows are high quality double glazed timber casement windows.

    The bedrooms are predominantly on the upper levels. The ground floor plays host to the magnificent principal suite with its own dressing room and en suite bathroom, with one further bedroom sharing a bathroom with bedroom 4, situated on the lower ground floor with double doors leading to the garden. This ensures access to bedrooms from all levels is possible. The upper level sees the staircase lead to a light and airy open office area/sitting area and bedroom 2, with the two spaces sharing access to a further shower room.

    The property sits in the grounds, circa 1.5 acres, of the original watermill and as such has a lovely position beside Littlemill Burn. The property also benefits from a 6kwh array of PV panels in the grounds.

    Surrounding the house there a number of outbuildings.
    Situated towards the bridge is a charming contemporary timber cabin/garden room that is currently let on a short term basis. The beautifully designed and presented property has its own kitchenette and living room with double bedroom area, outdoor decked terrace, firepit and allocated parking, making it the perfect self-contained weekend retreat. The cabin generates a useful income stream without impacting on the principal residence at all.

    There is also a convenient workshop & studio space which benefits from fabulous views of the garden, a large greenhouse with raised beds and fruit trees adjacent.

    A self-catering contemporary style cabin is discreetly located on the edge of the wooded area. The gardens are mostly open grassland with a bridge crossing the burn to a small copse of native woodland beyond and a covered bbq area and stone built firepit.
