Description
Steeped in local history Mill House sits in a large garden plot of approximately 1.15 acres with a long private driveway entrance. The property occupies a delightful position abutting open countryside and dates back as far as circa 1740 where it is understood that a windmill sat on the site from this time until 1930's. Today, this property represents an outstanding and extremely rare opportunity to acquire a character building having undergone extensive improvements and with a large contemporary extension to the side giving this property great potential as a family home. The property is an unfinished project providing an enthusiastic purchaser with the skills and where with all to finish this project to create a personalise character family home with a contemporary twist. Opportunities of this type are increasingly rare to the open market and we consider that there is considerable scope with this particular property. The property has had planning permission passed for the extension which has been carried out so far by specialist local builders under APPLICATION NO - P/22/1439/2. Each aspect has been signed off by the Building Inspector so far.

As one enters the driveway there is a wooded copse to the right hand side owned by the property and reaching the embankment down to the railway line. The garden is particularly extensive with a vast array of shrubs, plants, trees, grassed areas and wonderful views over open countryside. The driveway was due to continue in front of the property itself where there is a derelict field shelter currently on the edge of the plot.
