Little Millfields is an enchanting period farmhouse dating from the 16th century. The property features original timber framing with painted brick and rendered infill, while the accommodation retains a wealth of character features, including exposed timber beams, complemented by understated modern styling and fittings.

The ground floor provides three comfortable and versatile reception rooms, including the drawing room with its exposed timber beams and impressive fireplace. Adjoining the drawing room in a semi open-plan layout is the sitting room, where French doors open onto the gardens. There is also a formal dining room with west-facing French doors, while the generous family kitchen at the rear features shaker-style units, integrated appliances, an Aga, a central island and a walk-in larder. The utility room provides further storage and space for household appliances.

Upstairs there are four well-presented bedrooms, including the generous principal bedroom with useful eaves storage. The first floor also has a family bathroom, while an additional bathroom is located on the ground floor.

Outside, the delightful, landscaped gardens include well-maintained lawns to the front, side and rear, colourful, well-stocked beds and neatly clipped hedgerows. There are also sunny patio areas for al fresco dining and a timber-framed summer house. At the entrance, gates open onto a gravel driveway, while the outbuildings include a garage, double carport, workshop and store. A further detached outbuilding provides additional storage. The gardens enjoy a secluded setting, backing onto open fields, meadows and woodland.
