Mill Race, River, CT17

This is a home that has the power to transform the way you live. We know that’s a big statement, but bear with us, because this really is somewhere special. If you’re searching for a home that feels tucked away from the rest of the world — peaceful, private, and surrounded by nature — this could be exactly that. It has that Sunday afternoon feeling every day of the week: calm, unhurried, and filled with the gentle soundtrack of flowing water and birdsong.

This stunning three-bedroom duplex apartment is perfectly positioned and offered to the market with no onward chain. Inside, the space is bright, airy and thoughtfully designed, blending contemporary style with everyday comfort and creating a home that works equally well for quiet evenings or entertaining friends and family.

The ground floor naturally separates into two areas. One leads to a versatile bedroom or study, along with a separate WC. The other opens into the heart of the home — a beautiful vaulted lounge flooded with natural light, creating a warm and welcoming atmosphere. From here, there is access to a private balcony overlooking the water, as well as a separate garden terrace, ideal for a morning coffee or evening drink.

The kitchen diner is equally impressive, thoughtfully designed with generous worktop space, plenty of storage and room for a large dining table, making it a lovely place to gather with family and friends.

Rising from the lounge, the stairwell leads to a striking galleried landing, which adds to the character and sense of space throughout the home.

Upstairs, the principal bedroom feels like a true retreat, complete with its own en suite shower room. A further bedroom and a beautifully finished family bathroom complete the layout.

The apartment also benefits from allocated parking, meaning you’ll always have a space waiting when you return home.

Surrounded by such beautiful scenery, this home offers a genuine sense of escape from the pace of everyday life, while still being conveniently close to local amenities and transport links for easy commuting. Whether you are upsizing, downsizing, or simply looking for a different pace of life, this is a home that’s hard not to fall for. In a world where wellbeing matters more than ever, finding a place where you truly feel at ease can make all the difference. Perhaps this could be that place for you.
