Paradise Lane, Wearne, Langport, Somerset, TA10

A truly unique home consisting of a GII listed 18th Century former mill with a wealth of internal accommodation, requiring partial renovation/reconfiguring, with the scope to create a statement home in an idyllic semi-rural setting. No onward chain.

Paradise Mill is an intriguing former mill house dating from the 18th Century, although records suggest there has been a mill on the site for at least 400 years. The property offers over 3,000 sq.ft. of space across three levels, including living accommodation, bedrooms, and an extensive range of storage, garaging, and practical spaces to the lower ground floor.

The GII listed mill house requires a scheme of modernisation offering the opportunity to create a wholly unique home with some fantastic character features throughout. A particular standout of the property is the impressive central reception room, with stone walls, original timber beams, oak floor, mezzanine floor above with trapdoor, and large woodburning stove. The remaining internal accommodation consists in brief of a snug/sitting room with flagstone floors and fireplace with woodburning stove inset, a kitchen hosting oil fired Aga and flagstone floors, a scullery, large utility room, and a study/office with rear access.

Two sets of stairs lead up to the bedroom spaces, with the current configuration offering two bedrooms and two bathrooms, along with a mezzanine landing, with potential scope to reconfigure and create three bedrooms upstairs.

OUTSIDE

Paradise Mill enjoys a peaceful plot in the region of 1.35 acres tucked within a secluded valley, with the majority of the plot being laid to grass. Adjacent to the property is a small orchard with several fruit bearing trees, with a sperate gated access to the road leading to a carport. The remaining land extends northwards alongside the tree-lined Mill Brook offering a versatile and private space with plenty of scope and/or potential future uses.

To the opposite side of the seldom-used lane in which the property fronts is a double height barn which has recently expired full planning permission to convert into a one bedroom dwelling. The barn sits on a plot of roughly 1/3 an acre of hillside, which would require some heavy landscaping however offers the opportunity (subject to re-acquiring the necessary permissions) to create a superb annexe, or an income stream from a holiday let.
