North Street, Crewkerne, Somerset

A substantial family home offering versatile accommodation, generous gardens, ample parking, a double garage, and conveniently situated within walking distance of the town centre.

Introduction - The Old Mill House is an impressive Victorian residence occupying a prominent position on the edge of Crewkerne. Constructed of attractive Ham stone beneath a slate roof, the property has undergone a comprehensive programme of refurbishment in recent years, creating a superb family home that successfully combines period character with contemporary living.

Believed to have been built in the late nineteenth century as the residence for the manager of the neighbouring flax mill, the property enjoys an interesting local history and occupies grounds which were once used as bleaching fields for the mill's fabric production.

The Property - The accommodation is beautifully presented throughout and retains many features synonymous with its Victorian origins, including high ceilings, original joinery and generous room proportions.

The heart of the home is the stunning open-plan kitchen, dining and family space, thoughtfully redesigned to create a sociable environment perfectly suited to modern family life. Installed in 2022, the bespoke handmade kitchen has been crafted from pine and tulip wood and incorporates an extensive range of storage, a central island with breakfast bar, twin Neff ovens and Zanussi induction hob. Underfloor heating provides additional comfort, whilst bi-folding doors open directly onto the terrace and gardens beyond.

The principal reception rooms provide excellent flexibility, including an elegant sitting room featuring a multi-fuel stove and a further reception room currently utilised as a snug. The entrance hall leads through to a practical boot room with original flagstone flooring, bespoke fitted cabinetry installed in 2024,
plumbing for laundry appliances and a handcrafted hardwood door installed in 2023.

The first floor offers three generous bedrooms, a study and family bathroom together with a separate shower room. The study was formerly a bathroom and retains some plumbing connections, offering potential for future reconfiguration if desired.

The second floor provides further versatile accommodation including a substantial double bedroom, shower room, study/games area and extensive eaves storage running the full width of the house, making it particularly well suited to older children, guests or home working.

Outside - The property is approached via a gravelled driveway providing ample off-road parking together with access to the double garage, which benefits from power, lighting and an electric door installed in 2023.

The gardens are a particular feature of the property and provide a wonderful setting for both family life and entertaining. Adjoining the house is a paved and gravelled terrace ideal for outdoor dining, beyond which are extensive lawns interspersed with mature planting, specimen trees and well-stocked borders.

A mature Ash tree, believed to be approximately 70 to 80 years old, forms a striking focal point within the garden and was professionally inspected in 2024, being confirmed as healthy and free from signs of dieback. At the lower end of the garden are productive fruit trees including apple, pear, quince and plum, together with raspberry canes and an ornamental pond supporting a variety of wildlife including newts and goldfish.

The gardens extend to a small sunken area where remnants of a historic well can still be found, believed to have once supplied water from the nearby mill stream.

Situation - Crewkerne is a pretty and friendly market town. It's predominantly neo-Georgian and Victorian town centre streets offer a range of high street stores, including a Waitrose supermarket and many independent retailers, a range of local pubs, cafés, a large indoor swimming pool and a gym complex.
