Sellers Insight "We were drawn to The Old Corn Mill by its character and sheer space-it gave our growing family room to live, work, and breathe. The setting, right next to the village green, offered a perfect balance of rural life and community spirit. The children could play while we enjoyed peaceful views across open countryside or wandered down the footpath to Kirksanton's unspoiled beach.

This home has been a sanctuary for work and relaxation. The large study and high-speed internet made working from home easy, while the garden and village walks gave us breathing space and fresh air. We invested in comfort too-refitting the kitchen, bathrooms, and installing a state-of-the-art biomass heating system to keep things cosy year-round.

We'll miss the tranquillity, the friendly neighbours, and the views-from Black Combe to the distant fells. Whether it was curling up to watch a film, exploring stone circles on nearby walks, or simply enjoying the sound of the sea and breeze from the dunes, life here has been a joy.

Now the children have flown the nest, it's time for us to downsize and let a new family write the next chapter in this very special home."
