Description

Dating back to the early-to-mid 19th century, this remarkable period home forms part of the historic Dandy Mill site and offers around 3,000 sq ft of versatile accommodation alongside an impressive collection of traditional outbuildings and the iconic Grade II listed windmill.

Having been thoughtfully updated over the years, the property successfully blends original features including stained glass, Victorian tiled flooring, high ceilings and traditional joinery with the comforts expected for modern family life. The result is a home that feels equally suited to busy family living as it does entertaining friends, while its unusual dual-staircase layout offers flexibility that is rarely found.

It's not often you find a home where the outside is every bit as memorable as the inside. From the gardens and courtyard to the historic windmill and extensive range of traditional outbuildings, Dandy Mill Farm offers a setting that's as distinctive as the house itself.

Dual-aspect windows together with the walk-in bay ensure the room is flooded with natural light throughout the day, making it just as enjoyable for a quiet morning coffee as it is for hosting family and friends.

Open access leads directly into the snug.

Currently arranged as a dining and utility room, this versatile space offers fitted units, work surfaces and sink together with useful under-stair storage.

One of the property's more unusual features can also be found here, the second staircase, which leads to a separate first-floor landing. Whether used for older children, guests or multi-generational living, it creates a layout that's both practical and incredibly flexible.

Outside

The outside space is every bit as impressive as the home itself. Mature lawned gardens wrap around the property, complemented by established trees, planted borders, a greenhouse and a paved seating area beneath a timber pergola, providing plenty of space to relax or entertain. Standing proudly within the grounds is the historic Grade II listed Dandy Mill, creating a truly distinctive setting that few homes can offer. Beyond the gardens, a substantial courtyard gives access to an extensive range of traditional brick-built outbuildings, including former stables, garages, workshops and stores, together with a generous first-floor loft above the stable block. These buildings are currently used for storage and workshop space. Buyers wishing to explore alternative uses should make their own enquiries regarding any necessary planning permissions and statutory consents.
