The Elizabeth Line (within the Oyster zone) offers swift access into Central London, and the M25, M4, and M40 are all within a 10 minute drive. For lovers of the outdoors, there are countless walking trails, riding stables, and golf clubs nearby including Harleyford, The Buckinghamshire, and Stoke Park. Families are well catered for, with nearby nurseries and both state and private schooling options. The property sits within Priority 2 catchment for Langley Grammar School, with access via the 11+ exam.

Property - The home offers a flexible layout with light filled living spaces, high ceilings, sash windows, and a handcrafted kitchen with granite and wood worktops. Each bedroom is generously sized with stylish en-suite bathrooms, and the top floor suite offers its own private stair access and wet room. Upon entering through a welcoming porch, you’re drawn into the generous lounge, complete with a striking Chesney's fireplace that provides the room's focal point. A bespoke media unit conceals the TV when not in use, while discreetly integrated cabling and in ceiling speakers deliver a modern multimedia experience.

From the lounge, you step into one of the home’s most distinctive features - a remarkable dining space set within one of only two above ground food vaults in the country. This unique area comfortably seats eleven guests, making it perfect for hosting unforgettable dinners. The adjacent kitchen has been expertly designed, enjoying a large central island with bar seating inviting casual meals or conversation over a coffee from the integrated machine. Handcrafted cabinetry accommodates an American-style fridge freezer, double ovens, and an induction hob. The blend of natural wood and granite worktops, along with an underslung double sink and integrated appliances, makes cooking a pleasure.

Upstairs, the spacious landing leads to the large master suite, which features a super king-size bedroom, walk-in dressing room, and a luxurious ensuite with a walk-in rain shower. Two additional bedrooms branch off the main landing. One, overlooking the rear garden and river, boasts a stunning ensuite bathroom with a slipper bath perfectly positioned for river views—an indulgent retreat at the end of the day. The other is a flexible two storey space, currently used as a bedroom and separate study. The upper floor is bathed in natural light and would make an ideal teen suite or creative workspace.

A staircase leads to the top floor fourth bedroom. Featuring exposed beams, a vast bookcase with integrated desk, and its own wet room, this self-contained suite is currently used as a second lounge and reading room but could easily serve as a guest suite or home office.

Estate Grounds - Residents of Old Mill Island share over three acres of well maintained grounds, with a weekly gardening service covered by the annual service charge. Originally built as part of the Cowley Hall Estate, The Old Manor House dates back to the late 16th century when the Frays River powered a working water mill at the estate entrance. Constructed to support the mill, the house was once accompanied by stables, a chapel, and greenhouses—many of which still lend their character to the surroundings today.
