Stockton Mill, Stockton-on-Teme, WR6

This charming and characterful restored watermill stands in beautiful cottage gardens filled with an abundance of flowers, shrubs and specimen trees, and a stream running through.

The present mill dates from circa 1800 (though records show an earlier mill existed here) having been converted in 1994 to create this charming two/ three bedroom property complete with water wheel.

The property stands back behind a gated gravel driveway providing parking for a number of cars, including space suitable for a caravan or motorhome etc.

The accommodation is arranged over three floors, providing a flexible and versatile layout benefiting from oil-fired central heating and replacement upvc double glazing, installed by reputable local firm Five Star Windows in 2022 with a 20 year guarantee.

To the ground floor, the property is entered via a upvc conservatory (also fitted by Five Star Windows in 2014) with tiled floor, wall lights, windows looking across the gardens to open fields beyond and a door leading through to the living room.

Featuring exposed beams to the ceiling, the living room has a fireplace with log burner (multi-fuel) set on quarrry tiled hearth, with stairs up to the first floor and further stairs down to the lower ground floor.

Just off the living room is a double bedroom with in-built wardrobes plus en-suite shower room featuring a tiled floor and suite comprising cubicle with rainfall mixer shower and vanity unit incorporating a contoured corian hand basin plus wc.

To the first floor there is another double bedroom having three dual aspect windows, all enjoying fine views over the gardens and beyond. Adjacent to the bedroom is a bathroom with wall tiling to half height, vanity unit incorporating hand basin & wc plus P-shaped bath with screen and Mira electric shower unit above.

It should be mentioned that there is also potential to convert the loft space if an additional room is required.

The lower ground floor includes a 15' x 14' Avanti fitted breakfast kitchen, with tiled floor and range of beech wall & base cabinets with integral dishwasher, freestanding electric oven with induction hob and fitted hood.

A door leads through to the separate dining room which could also be used as a third bedroom if needed, with an adjacent entrance porch and wc.

The gardens are a particularly attractive feature of the property, wrapping around the property with a number of paths and features of interest, not least the fascinating water wheel at the rear of the property (non-operational), with a stream running through the gardens.

An arbour provides a delightful resting place next to the stream, whilst next to the water wheel is a brick-built potting shed with scope to convert into a garden room or office. There are also a couple of wooden garden sheds.

Stockton Mill captures an authentic glimpse of the Teme Valley's rural history, whilst providing a unique country home in this beautiful part of the world. The village of Abberley, with general store/ post office, village pub and primary school is just three minutes away by car, and the larger towns of Tenbury Wells, Stourport, Kidderminster and Worcester City can all be reached within under 30 minutes. The location also falls within the catchment area for The Chantry School at Martley.
