Kelloways Mill
Kelloways Mill is an extremely pretty former mill house and mill which has been thoughtfully upgraded in recent years to provide a well-balanced family home in wonderful secluded grounds. The property is unlisted and has considerable potential for further extension and improvement if this was required in the future. A new front door opens into a central reception hall which in turn opens through to a kitchen/breakfast room with a range of beautiful bespoke cabinets, an Aga and French doors to a south-facing terrace. There are two attractive reception rooms along the south side of the house, a dining room or sitting room and a drawing room both with woodburning stoves and doors to the terrace. The ground floor is completed by a spacious boot room, a utility room and cloakroom. Stairs lead up from an inner hall to access a characterful study with a range of built in cabinetry and sitting above the Mill Race. Above here is a guest bedroom with an adjoining WC. Four bedrooms are accessed from the main staircase including a principal bedroom with an en suite bathroom, a guest bedroom with a dressing room and bathroom and 2 further bedrooms which share a family bathroom.

Gardens & Land
Kelloways Mill sits in delightful riverside gardens which provide a variety of areas of interest to the north, south and west of the house. To the south there is also a wide terrace overlooking formal lawns. The swimming pool is found in a sheltered garden to the north east of the house and has a retractable cover and air-source heating. There are three areas of pasture, to the north, west and south of the house all of which have been recently refenced with attractive cleft chestnut post and rail fencing. A public footpath runs through the grounds as shown on the site plan.

Outbuildings
The outbuildings include a newly constructed timber-framed garage with an adjoining workshop and a neighbouring studio. There is also a traditional stone outbuilding which has scope for renovation and a further double garage. Adjacent to the paddock is a timber stable block.
