Overview - Approaching the Mill along the 170m Tarmac drive, this is a perfectly tranquil setting and leads into a courtyard. The property underwent extensive renovation between 2011 and 2012 to provide luxury, tastefully presented accommodation and a ground floor self contained living area with direct outside access and a linking staircase to the remaining accommodation. Features of the old mill remain and outside a series of balancing pools lead down to the stream, attracting an abundance of wildlife. The present owners have an equestrian interest with stabling, tack room and 40m x 20m menage. The paddocks are divided for rotational grazing. Additionally there is a studio, large modern barn for secure storage and a 4 bay carport.

Entered from the ground floor through a stable door, this level offers exceptionally versatile accommodation that could easily be utilised as a self-contained annexe if required. The current ground floor layout comprises a spacious entrance hall, a reception room/bedroom with adjoining en-suite, a kitchenette with adjacent boot room/utility, and a delightful morning room.

A turning stone staircase rises to the principal first floor living accommodation, which can also be accessed via the formal entrance from the garden. The impressive sitting room enjoys a dual aspect and features an exposed inglenook fireplace housing a log burning stove, exposed beams, and stairs rising to the second floor. Doors lead to a study and an elegant drawing room, again benefitting from a dual aspect, exposed beams, a log burning stove, and direct access to the gardens.
