Old Mill Road, Denham, UB9

Arguably, one of the most sought after houses in the village and available for the second time in 100 years, this handsome residence enjoys a river frontage in the beautiful Denham Village. Believed to date back to the 18th Century and forming part of the Denham Court Estate, the property was built as a steam and water mill used to make size paste. In the 1920’s it was converted and modernised by the Rector Mr Battisford to create the white painted building you see today. The current owners bought the house from the estate following significant interest from many parties and, this is only the second time the property has been offered in 100 years. Wellers Mead is a landmark building and much photographed due to its classic lines and elegant facade.

Entry to the house opens to the generous reception hall, which leads to the main Drawing Room, a separate Dining Room, Family Room and Study plus a guest cloakroom. The Kitchen Breakfast Room features an Aga range as well as a larder and separate Utility Room. From the Sitting Room there is access to a fabulous Sun Room with doors opening out to the rear gardens, a bar which then leads to the indoor pool complex with Sauna and shower room. This space offers a great sense of space and is often used for entertaining around the pool to great effect.
Rising to the first floor, there are up to six bedrooms. The main bedroom has an ensuite bathroom and dressing area with superb views out to the rear. In addition to the guest ensuite bedroom, there are three further bedrooms, all with wardrobe/cupboard storage plus a 28ft x 25ft max bedroom/games room. This room could also be altered to create an impressive main suite if desired.

Outside

This charming house sits centrally on the plot and is approached via a circular driveway where there is ample parking in addition to the detached garage.

There are several patios to soak up the sunshine with pathways to the end of the gardens along with a pretty Victorian rotating summer house. To the side of the house are well established kitchen gardens with fruit trees, glass house and raised beds.
