STEP INSIDE

As you step through the welcoming porch—perfect for shedding muddy boots and coats after a countryside walk—you’re immediately embraced by the charm and calm of Mill Brook. The porch leads gracefully into a light-filled conservatory that overlooks the private front garden.

The main living room stretches the full depth of the property, flooded with natural light from a stunning picture window that frames views of the garden and the countryside beyond. This generous space offers flexibility in layout and an inviting atmosphere for both quiet evenings and entertaining.

Adjacent lies the dining room—a space that invites lingering, whether over morning coffee or an evening meal. With large windows and patio doors, this room seamlessly blends indoor and outdoor living with stunning views of the valley. The high-quality Moduleo flooring adds both style and durability underfoot.

The kitchen was newly fitted in 2023 and strikes a beautiful balance between modern convenience and rustic charm. Sleek quartz worktops, cabinetry in light tones, and sweeping countryside views create an uplifting space to cook and gather. An electric AGA nods to the rural heritage of the home, complemented by a larder cupboard and a side entrance with additional storage—perfect for daily practicality.

An inner hallway leads to a luxuriously appointed family bathroom, featuring a separate bath and shower, pale-toned tiling, and a contrasting vanity unit for a refined finish. A dedicated study area nearby offers the ideal nook for working from home or pursuing personal passions.

The ground floor also hosts two double bedrooms. The principal suite is a true retreat—spacious and serene, with a range of modern wardrobes, French doors that open to the front garden, and elegant shutters to frame the morning sun and birdsong. A stylish ensuite bathroom with a generous shower completes this peaceful haven. The second bedroom is equally well-proportioned, with fitted wardrobes and garden views.

Completing the ground floor is a smartly designed utility room, fitted with cabinetry and worktops to match the kitchen, and offering plumbing for laundry appliances. A secondary entrance nearby adds further functionality to this flexible home.

Upstairs, two further double bedrooms continue the theme of light and space. One features a full wall of fitted wardrobes, while both enjoy access to eaves storage—ideal for seasonal belongings. A large loft area, with some restricted head height, presents excellent potential for further expansion of the first floor, subject to planning consent.

SELLERS INSIGHT

“When we first discovered Mill Brook, we were instantly struck by amazing views from the house and garden and the peace and privacy—it truly felt like stepping away from the fast pace of everyday life. What we’ve loved most is how the house gives you that feeling of being tucked away in the middle of the countryside, yet everything you need is still so close by.

The garden is a wildlife haven. It’s incredibly private, surrounded by trees and open fields. Whether it's early mornings with a cup of tea listening to the birds, or long summer evenings on the decking watching the sun go down, it's a space that gives back so much calm. We've created different places to sit and just be, and the wild garden at the bottom has become a wonderful habitat for butterflies, bees, and the fantastic varieties of birds.

We’ve enjoyed countless walks straight from the front door—Rora Woods is a favourite of ours, just a short stroll away and beautiful all year round. The village itself has such a welcoming feel, with a lovely pub, a great little post office/shop, and the convenience of being able to walk in if we fancy a bite to eat or need to pick up something. At the same time, the main road connections are only a short drive, making travel easy when needed.

Living here has given us a rhythm we didn’t know we were missing. It’s been a wonderful place to press pause and enjoy the quiet moments. We hope the next owners find as much joy and contentment here as we have.”
