Location
A charming home set within the grounds of a landmark former mill
Bliss Mill is a striking Grade II listed building, constructed from local Cotswold stone in the 1870s as a celebrated tweed mill. In the late 1980s, it was thoughtfully converted to provide an exclusive collection of elegant private residences. Today, residents enjoy beautifully maintained communal grounds, the benefit of secure garage parking, and access to an excellent range of leisure facilities, all contributing to a highly desirable and refined living environment.
East Lodge is a delightful and characterful stone built home forming part of the renowned and picturesque Bliss Mill development on the edge of Chipping Norton. One of only two houses in the complex, the rest being apartments. Combining period charm with modern comforts, the property has been thoughtfully improved and well maintained by the current owners, resulting in a beautifully presented home ready for immediate enjoyment. Extending to just under 1,400 sq. ft, the accommodation is arranged over three well balanced floors, offering both flexibility and comfort for modern living.
Upon entering the property, you are welcomed into an inviting sitting room, characterful and warmth. A central fireplace with log burner creates a cosy focal point, while a charming bay window and dual aspect outlook allow natural light to flood the room and provide attractive views over the garden.
The kitchen is a perfect fusion of modern design and traditional charm. It features Bosch appliances, ample work surfaces, and plentiful storage. A delightful window seat enhances the character, while French doors open directly onto the patio, ideal for indoor outdoor living and entertaining. Also on this level is a generous cloakroom.
The lower ground floor provides two spacious bedrooms, both benefiting from built in storage. These rooms are well proportioned and versatile, suitable for guests, family members, or home working. They are served by a beautifully appointed contemporary shower room, finished with stylish fittings. A useful storage cupboard is also located in the hallway.
The top floor comprises two further generously proportioned bedrooms, both with built in wardrobes and enjoying charming views from every aspect. This level offers bright and airy accommodation, complemented by a second modern shower room, again finished to a high standard.
The garden at East Lodge is a particular highlight. Carefully landscaped and abundantly planted, providing a vibrant yet tranquil environment. A combination of flower beds, patio and gravelled seating areas creates a variety of spaces for relaxation and entertaining. The property enjoys a peaceful outlook over the pond, offering a serene backdrop for al fresco dining, summer gatherings, or simply unwinding in the sunshine.
There is allocated parking (leasehold) for one vehicle in the covered parking area created from a former loom shed. An excellent range of on-site leisure facilities, including: indoor swimming pool, tennis court, squash court and fully equipped gym.
