The Property
Stepping through the front door of this stunning property we are welcomed by the central entrance hall, where Suffolk paments line the floor and two of the original doors opens to our first two reception rooms. Set to the left of the hall we find the study/library where the feeling of space and superb natural light found throughout The Miller House is instantly apparent. Herringbone flooring lines the room whilst a bespoke range of bookshelves fill one wall of this generous room. Stepping across the hall we find the sitting room where the scale of the house continues to grow. This dual aspect room is of superb proportions and enjoys a wood burning stove set to the large fireplace which offers a cosy focal point to the room. An original safe is wall mounted below what was the 'payment' window when cargo would pass by boat through the mill. Timber flooring lines the room and flows into the inner hallway where our stairs rise to the first floor, a door opens to to outside and we find the ground floor lavatory. Stepping to the rear the space flows superbly when entertaining. The day room opens to both the kitchen dining room and sun room allowing the three spaces to work as one whilst also providing the perfect spot for a quiet morning coffee. The sun room allows us to enjoy the garden throughout the year and opens to the patio whilst back in the kitchen a range of handmade units offer wealth of storage and working space above. A butler sink sits below a window looking onto the gardens and a range style cooker takes centre stage. Over head a roof light window pours light onto the dining area whilst two doors open to a pantry cupboard and a large walk in store room. The laundry room completes the ground floor accommodation and enjoys its own door leading to the garden. On the first floor we find two substantial double bedrooms, the smaller boasting fitted wardrobes and the larger forming the master bedroom, enjoys a large walk in wardrobe. Both rooms enjoy a view to the front of the property. Across the hall the bathroom echoes the exceptional finish and attention to detail found throughout. A claw foot bath creates a center piece to the room whilst a double width shower, wash basin and w/c are all complimented by contemporary tiled walls and exposed timber floors. Back on the landing a door opens to the second staircase which rises to a vast landing area currently used a guest bedroom space. From here two further bedrooms are found; at the rear a cosy double, whilst looking to the front we find an exceptional double room. A shower room completes the accommodation on the upper floor.

Outside
Approaching the property via Staithe Road we find a delightful low walled courtyard garden forming the frontage of The Millers House with a path leading to the front door. To the side of the property we find our off road parking area and a gate opening to the gardens, here we pass the wood store and a side door that returns to the inner hallway of the house. Cottage garden beds line the space as we lead on to the patio. The patio provides a superb extension of the home through the summer months with a door opening from the laundry room and French doors leading off the sun room. From the patio we enter the games room which provides a superb, versatile outbuilding. A gate opens through the low set wall into the main gardens where the plot comes into its own. Laid to lawn this exceptional space is framed with a variety of native shrubs and perennial flowers bursting with colour and scent. A large timber workshop is set to the left hand boundary whilst a path leads us over the lawns and between the flowering beds to a central seating area. From here we step below the Willow trees where a timber terrace provides the perfect spot to paddle your feet and take in the stunning river views. A garden shed is masked at this end of the garden and we find electrical points perfect for entertaining and garden maintenance.
