Freehold

Description

Encompassed by approximately 2.5 acres of idyllic gardens and paddocks, The Milling House can offer a truly superb equestrian lifestyle. Balancing original 19th century features with picturesque views, a magnificent orangery and a self-contained studio annexe, its prodigious 4010sq ft footprint includes detached garaging and an excellent stable block.

Beautifully styled throughout with a wealth of exposed beams, a study, bespoke kitchen, trio of reception rooms and principal suite, it creates a wonderful example of modern family life in a period property.

At the end of a private lane, set back from the leafy environs of Goose Rye Road The Milling House is believed to date back in part to the 19th century. Ensconced by beautiful grounds with paddocks, stabling and garaging that has an overhead studio apartment, it proffers a superbly tranquil and idyllic setting. From its wealth of exposed beams and vaulted ceilings through to the refined architecture of its later 19th century heritage, there are an abundance of original features that sit effortlessly side by side with subtly included contemporary comforts such as underfloor heating.

Behind a double-fronted red brick facade, a wonderfully fluid layout carries bucolic vistas throughout. The elegant simplicity of a pared-back design scheme is warmed by the rustic tones of timber beams and exposed brickwork, while vaulted ceilings lend immense air of light and space.

On the ground floor a succession of interconnecting reception rooms, a study and orangery produce a defined yet hugely free-flowing feel. Sitting in the heart of the layout natural light tumbles delicately into a beautiful triple aspect drawing room with an expanse of ceiling beams and the homely focal point of a classic wood burner within its raised fireplace. Tastefully chosen bookcases stretch up and over lime waxed double doors to the dining room where timber framed bi-fold doors connect with blissfully secluded terracing. This inviting space combines with an adjoining kitchen generating an open plan design equally suited for everyday life or evenings spent hosting friends and family.

A stone tiled floor extends seamlessly across both rooms, and whilst the dining room benefits from underfloor heating the kitchen is supremely well appointed with handmade Shaker cabinetry and integrated Neff appliances. A Rangemaster cooker sits beneath a mantel extractor, and a central island with bar stool seating gives both delineation and unity to the space. Topped and tailed with doors to the garden, a matching utility room is on hand to keep laundry appliances hidden out of sight, with a separate area for dogs to have access to the garden.

The timber detailing continues in an enviable double aspect study and sitting room that sit to either side of the drawing room. French doors in the study give every excuse to take a break and step out into the gardens, while the sitting room opens into a magnificent orangery that is at once both contemporary and sympathetic to the original bones of the house. A peaceful retreat with a voluminous ceiling and wrap-around glazing, its twin sets of French doors permit the gardens to become an easy flowing extension of the notable dimensions and underfloor heating adds a welcome finishing touch during the cooler months of the year.

The cohesive presentation and discerning respect for the house’s history continues upstairs where four admirably large bedrooms sit beneath the painted white beams of high vaulted ceilings. With a palette of soft heritage hues, each one provides an ideal measure of flexible family accommodation. Opening onto a balcony that gives the perfect spot to admire your surroundings, a graceful principal bedroom has fitted wardrobes and an en-suite with an inset bath and walk-in shower. Guests will love a double aspect second double bedroom with a contemporary en-suite shower room, and the additional two rooms share a sleek and stylish family bathroom. A ground floor cloakroom completes this exceptional family abode.

Outside
Encapsulating all the quintessential traits of an English rural idyll, The Milling House sits within circa 2.5acres of beautiful gardens and pastoral grounds that produce a coveted degree of privacy and tranquillity. Borders fully stocked with magnificently tall trees, perfectly clipped conifers and evergreen shrubs are peppered with dashes of vibrant colour and frame capacious level lawns. A considerable York stone terrace supplies a blissful place for al fresco dining. An enclosed garden to the rear is a somewhere that dogs can roam and stretch their legs securely, and the naturally fed pond provides a peaceful hideaway to sit on the waters’ edge in dappled shade.

All around you, an array of post and rail fenced paddocks and field shelters are ideal for equestrian households and anyone longing for a smallholding. An excellent timber stable block comes complete with a central tack room and the location provides tremendous hacking with a minimal amount of time spent on roads.

Blending harmoniously with the house and setting, a barn-style garage has double carport parking and an enclosed garage/store, while overhead a self-contained studio with a wealth of fitted storage, kitchen area and en-suite bathroom provides a host of possibilities for guests or staff.

It is good to note that the studio annexe has a brand new boiler and electrics, and that the main residence is oil fired, with a regularly serviced boiler and Klargester. A generator is situated in the garage.
