Barrow Mere, Barton-upon-Humber, North Lincolnshire, DN18

Situated in the charming and rural area of Barrow Mere is this one of a kind family home with its very own mill. Surrounded by fields, making this a perfect home for someone looking to escape the busy city lifestyle or perhaps open a business (subject to necessary planning and permissions)!

The possibilities are endless...

This home has been lovingly taken care of by the current owners and this generously proportioned accommodation includes three reception rooms, a country style breakfast kitchen and a handy utility room with an adjoining downstairs WC. While the first floor accommodation offers three double bedrooms with the principal one having an en-suite and the rest benefitting from a family bathroom.

Once you have finished admiring this lovely home, you find yourself in the garden with the mill (currently used as a workshop). Finished with a detached garage and ample off street parking.

VIEWING HIGHLY RECOMMENDED!

PEARSONS MILL

The house originally stood in a "parcel" of land stated to be 1.33 acres at the time of the last sale in 1997. A few years later a further "parcel", also of 1.33 acres, was acquired to the East of the original holding. The two areas are connected by a pedestrian gate and are therefore described separately as follows:

ORIGINAL LAND

The house stands in the North-West corner of the original piece of land, with a central gravelled driveway running from the main road down to the disused mill which is situated fairly centrally within the plot.
The driveway opens up at the east side of the mill to provide a large hard surfaced area suitable for parking of several vehicles.
The mill has been disused since c.1927, and approximately fifteen years later, the top two or three stories were removed, and a concrete roof installed. The mill currently has two usable floors, being used for storage and as a workshop. There is an electricity supply.

*

A brick built garage stands to the East of the house and drive, which is currently used for storage, with parking spaces to the North and South sides.
The remainder of the plot between the main road and the mill is laid out as ornamental gardens, comprising lawns and several borders, all thickly planted with a wide range of shrubs and herbaceous plants to provide year round colour and interest.

*

The whole of this piece of land to the South of the mill has until recently been used as a commercial plant nursery. It is laid out around a central roadway approximately 4m wide, constructed to carry heavy goods vehicles. There is a former plant sales area, frames for five polytunnels, and several gravel standing beds. All the areas described above are accessed by concrete slab pathways. The standing beds are laid on a membrane over the original soil, so all areas could be easily reinstated to soil if required.

*

The whole of this plot is bounded by mature hawthorn hedges with the exception of the Northern boundary which has a privet hedge.
A culvert runs under the grass verge carrying surface water from the dyke to the west of the property.

ADDITIONAL LAND

This plot is accessed off the main road through a pair of metal gates leading onto a hardcore track, 4m wide, which extends almost the full length of the field. An orchard of seven mature apple trees is situated to the southern end of the plot, interspersed with a selection of shrub roses and drifts of Spring flowering bulbs.
There is a small copse of semi mature native trees and shrubs in the Northwestern corner of this plot, affording shelter and privacy from the road. This copse is also planted with drifts of Spring flowering bulbs.
The whole of this area is bounded by mature hawthorn hedges.
