Description
Watlington Mill is a highly individual property, offering a former mill house full of age and character, with outbuildings providing further potential. The property extends to approximately 30 acres of land, including a large lake, areas of woodland, and a millside lake with gardens. Together, these elements create a rare and flexible opportunity for redevelopment, lifestyle living, or business use, subject to the necessary consents.
Set within extensive grounds, the property will appeal to buyers seeking a bold and creative project — whether to create a unique family home, a rural retreat, a live/work environment, or a destination for guest accommodation or retreats. PROPERTY OVERVIEW Approached via a long driveway with turning circle and covered porch, the house sits within its own expansive grounds, while remaining conveniently close to Watlington and the Chilterns.
The existing house is full of character and quirks, arranged over three levels, with unusual room shapes, original features and a layout that reflects its evolution over time. Internally, the accommodation includes a large dining room, a light and airy family sitting room with open fire and direct access to the patio and gardens, a study, a further reception room, and a small cosy cottage-style kitchen with a large open fireplace. A distinctive feature of the house is the water channel visible through a glass panel within the property. Upstairs are five characterful bedrooms and two bathrooms. This includes a master bedroom with a vaulted ceiling and views across the lakes and grounds. The remaining bedrooms are arranged in a varied and characterful layout. The house is not listed, presenting a significant opportunity for a new owner. It could be sympathetically restored, partially remodeled, or entirely reconfigured and modernized.
OUTBUILDINGS & DEVELOPMENT POTENTIAL
The outbuildings offer valuable additional space and flexibility and could lend themselves to
guest accommodation, home offices or studios, workshops or creative spaces, wellness or retreat use, or a live/work setup for a business run from home, subject to planning. GROUNDS, WILDNESS & NATURE Immediately surrounding the house is the millside lake, creating a beautiful waterside setting for the gardens and terraces. Beyond this lies a larger, extensive lake set within woodland and natural areas of the estate. The land supports a wide range of British wildlife, including herons, egrets, ducks, foxes and badgers, with pigs kept in nearby fields adding to the rural setting. LOCATION The property is well positioned close to the market town of Watlington, offering independent shops, cafés, pubs, and both primary and secondary schools. The M40 is approximately 10 minutes away, providing access to London, Oxford and Heathrow
