Old Mill Cottage: With parts of the cottage dating back to the early 17th century, Old Mill Cottage is a unique, Grade II Listed home that blends historic charm with thoughtful and sympathetic extension and modernisation. The property has been significantly improved in recent years, including the addition of underfloor heating throughout the ground floor and a striking green oak extension that has created both space and flexibility. The cottage offers an abundance of period charm with features including exposed beams, timber-framed windows and inglenook fireplaces.

The ground floor offers a welcoming layout, with an entrance hall that leads to the characterful reception rooms, currently arranged to offer a more formal sitting room, dining room, further family room and a comfortable study, ideal for today's working from home needs.

Upstairs, the vaulted principal bedroom is particularly impressive with lots of light and space, with its dressing room and well appointed en suite. The three further bedrooms on this floor are served by the family bathroom.

The Annexe: The annexe is tucked away in a raised corner of the garden and woodland. This quirky and captivating space is approached via the recessed, covered, decked, seating area, which overlooks the wild gardens. Arranged to be predominantly open-plan, but easily zoned, the annexe offers a sitting area which benefits from a wood burner and floor to ceiling double glazed windows, there is a kitchen with ample storage and an electric range cooker. The reception space is open to the bedroom area. The bathroom is accessed via the covered seating area, and comprises a shower, WC and basin. The annexe offers much flexibility and could also be used as an Air B&B, home studio/gym or further home office.

Outside: The property is supported by a further range of outbuildings, including a detached four-bay oak garage and an oak-framed workshop with power. There are two points of access that provide gated driveway parking for numerous vehicles.

The delightful and established gardens surrounding the house have a natural, informal feel, with mature trees, seasonal planting and vibrant bluebells in spring, along with features such as a teepee, former tree fort and direct woodland access. The grounds extend to approximately 13.7 acres, incorporating ancient broadleaf woodland with a stream, a recognised Roman path and historic iron works.
