Description
The Forge has been lovingly improved by the present owner, creating a light, flowing and beautifully presented home which combines contemporary design features with an excellent use of space arranged over three floors.
The accommodation offers a wonderful blend of character and modern living, comprising a welcoming lounge, well-appointed kitchen/dining room, two bedrooms and a family bathroom. A particularly versatile room is tucked into the roof space and divided through the centre by one of the property's original character beams. This delightful space offers considerable flexibility and could be utilised as a third bedroom, home office, study or additional reception area.
Outside, to the front, a delightful seating area provides the perfect spot to relax and enjoy the attractive outlook across the Mill Pond, to the rear a low-maintenance gravelled garden incorporates a small patio area, enjoying a pleasant outlook towards the surrounding hillside. The property also enjoys access to a well-maintained communal green.
A truly appealing period home, offering character, versatility and a sense of individuality in a peaceful rural setting.
Steeped in history, the hamlet of Bill Mills has a fascinating heritage dating back to the Domesday Book. First recorded in 1362 as 'Bulimulle', the area was mentioned again in 1367 when Nicholas le Castell generously granted his lands here to the Rector of Mitcheldean.
Over the centuries, Bill Mills evolved from its early origins into a thriving centre of industry. During the 17th and 18th centuries, it was home to a busy paper mill, later becoming a corn mill before entering another chapter in its industrial history with the bottling of Guinness and mineral water. Today, its historic character and peaceful setting offer a wonderful reminder of the many generations and industries that have shaped this unique hamlet.
