Location

The thriving village of Walford lies alongside the Ross to Lydbrook Road, the village extending from Coughton in the north to Kerne Bridge in the South, the dominant landmark of Goodrich Castle, dramatically perched on its rocky red cliff a little to the west. Facilities within the village include an excellent pub, The Mill Race, an excellent primary school, village hall, and the Church of Saint Michael and All Angels. Parts of the nave are Norman, the remainder being mostly 13th Century. Not far away is the striking black and white house known as Upper Wythl, also known for its vineyard and wine! For those wanting the attractions offered by the flowing River Wye, it passes serenely close by.

Description

Mill House is situated on the edge of the village of Walford with views across the glorious rolling countryside and up towards the historically significant Goodrich Castle. Constructed in the mid 1700's and having been carefully renovated to a very high standard this most attractive stone built house has been sympathetically extended to create the fabulous home one sees today, whilst retaining character period features such as sash windows, exposed beams and beautiful flagstone flooring.
The substantial main door opens into the generous reception hall with a range of most attractive storage units. From here a hallway with stunning flagstone flooring leads to the impressive kitchen breakfast room. Fitted with a range of bespoke wall and floor mounted units, incorporating built in Neff appliances and a four oven Aga, this space is truly the heart of the home. The breakfast area also has a feature flagstone floor, and with a wood burning stove recessed into the fireplace, it makes a welcoming dining area. Accessed directly from the entrance hallway is the well equipped utility room and cloaks and w.c.
With sash window overlooking the beautiful rear garden is the drawing room painted in Farrow & Ball Inchyra, with stone fireplace and inset wood burning stove. A range of glazed and shelved bookcases add to the ambience of this room. Steps lead from here to a further snug/sitting room currently used as a playroom again with a window overlooking the gardens.
Accessed also from the main hallway is the office/study, a former, and cleverly converted, cellar with a wooden staircase giving access to a skylight enabling natural light admittance.
To the first floor is the master bedroom with an exposed vaulted ceiling, and an en-suite shower room with Burlington Shower. There are three further bedrooms, all of generous proportions together with a recently refurbished family shower room with Mandarin Stone marble tiling.
Accessed from the house, via a most attractive, canopied porch, are the south facing gardens. An extensive lawned area, with a fabulous pergola covered in a mature wisteria, and a selection of raised vegetable beds and fruit trees, sit to the rear of the house. There is also a large decked, entertaining area, providing an ideal spot to eat al fresco, overlooked by the majestic Goodrich Castle. With a double garage, a large, paved circulation area with a central Mill stone feature, and several additional storage sheds Mill House offers the opportunity to purchase a stunning period house, in a well regarded village location. For those who are interested, we strongly recommend an early internal viewing.
