Property description

The Old Mill is a delightful period property in an idyllic riverside location. Its lovely stone frontage overlooks the pretty mill stream and there are exceptional far-reaching rural views from the property's many windows. Dating from 1803, this was a working mill until the 1980s when it was converted into a splendid country residence set in quiet private gardens. The elegant interior is made up of gracefully proportioned rooms with high ceilings and windows on each side which flood the house with natural light and make the most of the enthralling views. A more recent extension has created a stunning Kitchen & Breakfast room that opens directly out to the pretty cottage garden where a wide deck runs along the length of the bank and is the ideal place from which to observe birds and wildlife, or simply to relax and enjoy the river. There is a mooring from which to cast off and explore upstream or visit the nearby island, and the property has the added benefit of fishing rights from both banks, a paddock and shared ownership of the nearby meadows. With a mix of elegant and relaxed reception space, extensive accommodation over three floors and a fantastic water-side location, The Old Mill is a unique and charming family home.
