Property description
For anyone wanting something out of the ordinary, this is a fabulously quirky architect-designed home within the Scalegill mill conversion, offering three bedrooms in a beautifully idyllic setting alongside the mill race and pond.
(Including 3 years full service charges forward paid)
The Engine Room forms part of the imaginative and exclusive conversion of Scalegill which was originally an historic cotton mill dating back to 1795. The mill is set amidst circa 8 acres of beautiful communal gardens, including an area of natural woodland, meadowland, mill race and the pond.
The Engine Room is by far the most unusual property that we have seen for many years. It has been stylishly yet quirkily converted and includes many unusual features including a large store room formed out of the back of an old land rover, circular entrance to the kitchen, and the original workings of the old engine on display at the back of the sitting room. The whole property exudes style and a contemporary edge, although it is also an amazingly comfortable home which has been thoroughly enjoyed by the present family since 2000. On the upper ground level there is a beautifully fitted kitchen which is open to a dining area, both of which have balustrade rails over the lower ground floor sitting room. Also on the upper floor is a house bathroom and bedroom, as well as the quirky Land Rover store. Two sets of independent steps lead down to the lower ground floor level from from where there is a light and spacious sitting room with garden doors. At the back of the sitting room are the original engine workings and it also features a glazed porthole where one can see down to the flume beneath. The rest of the lower ground floor is given over to two further bedrooms, one of which has a dressing room and a en-suite wet room. Outside, there are stunning gardens, all of which are shared by the whole of Scalegill along with the wide area of natural woodland and there is parking both at the front and the rear of the property.
Heated by electric night storage heaters and underfloor heating and hot water is from an LPG boiler, this is a property which really must be internally viewed to be fully appreciated.
