The Mill House

The mill house, last rebuilt in the 1730’s, is a three bedroom farmhouse set well back off the road, with large kitchen / diner, two reception rooms and a bathroom. The roof space offers potential for more accommodation.

Under the house there are cellars with vaulted ceilings which date from an earlier version of the house.

The house has oil-fired central heating and a woodburner, and has been sympathetically repaired. It has been re-roofed and has new wooden sash windows at the front, and wooden double glazing at the back. It has been rewired and replumbed, but is at a basic level of finish.

The property has mains electricity and water, a septic tank and a land-line telephone connection.

The Mill

The mill is older than the house and contains three cellar rooms and three large rooms ready for conversion to additional living space which could be accessed from the kitchen.

Outbuildings

There is also a barn providing ample covered parking, a loose box and a stall, with storage over.

Outside

The garden has been managed organically for many years; there is a one and a half acre traditional hay meadow, a formal front garden, a vegetable, fruit and ornamental garden and about three quarters of an acre of wildlife garden. The mill stream runs along the boundary and then through a culvert under the wild garden.

Location

The mill is situated in a small village in easy reach of local shops, with good schools and within a mile of other facilities such as gym, swimming pool and theatre, but is in a quiet and private location.
