Description
Situated in an enviable setting adjoining The Ling – a 131-acre biological Site of Special Scientific Interest north of the village of Wortham, Old Mill House is an exceptional 'commuter convenient' period house, beautifully presented with many notable features reflecting the varying eras of building, from origins dating back to the 18th-century to a recent kitchen extension, the property cleverly blends the elegant characteristics with contemporary nuances whilst enjoying a large degree of natural light throughout.
Extending to 3,500sq-ft, the accommodation is arranged over two floors comprising a large reception hall with stripped floors, flanked by two elegant reception rooms, both enjoying generous ceiling heights with picture rails, sash windows and open fires. The rear hall leads to a snug, with open fire housing a wood-burning stove, further leading to a laundry, scullery and boot room.
The recent kitchen extension has been skillfully designed, leading from a study area with pamment floor and openings to a striking contemporary space, affording a large level of natural light with views over the gardens and The Ling beyond and bi-fold doors to the terrace.
The kitchen is fitted with a wide range of high-gloss base and eye level units, worktop and matching breakfast bar and island, integrated 5-ring gas hob and Neff induction, double oven, dishwasher and space for American-style fridge freezer. There is a further opening to a sitting/family room, with inglenook fireplace and tiled floors.
