All set within an acre of mature grounds, with large ponds and a nearby flowing stream.
An inner hall services the dining room and kitchen to the front. The well-proportioned dining room is a great space with wonderful feature stone and granite fireplace and access to the rear hall. The beautiful modern kitchen comprises Shaker style floor and wall cabinetry, Belling range style cooker, undercounter and plinth LED’s, inset Belfast sink, polished granite worktop and peninsula, integrated dishwasher plus room for a breakfast table.
A rear lobby from the kitchen opens to the garden, hallway and the utility/cloakroom that offers useful storage, sink, w/c and space for washing machine and dryer. The large hallway with generous built in pine storage cupboards leads to the living room, arguably the best room in the house and a fantastic modern addition. A stunning dual aspect lounge boasts an inglenook style stone fireplace, wood burner, slate hearth and iron lintel, a nostalgic reference to the old working mill and twin double doors to the garden providing excellent light. A sizable yet cosy living room with garden and rural views.

All contributing to a rustic but warm feeling in every room. Both en-suites are stylishly appointed with a shower on the ground floor and bath in the master. The middle floor is an open plan kitchen/living/dining room with a stable door to a generous decked balcony with country views and tranquil sounds of the flowing stream. A separate drive leads to the mill making this an ideal holiday let option.

We were looking for a place with two equally special houses but this was very hard to find. I remember walking into the Mill after viewing the farmhouse and feeling an overwhelming excitement I would be living there. I particularly loved going to sleep to the sound of the stream running by and the hooting of owls. It always felt such a safe place.
The main house was perfect for large family gatherings, everyone could be easily seated in the dining room for Christmas while the huge lounge with the patio doors open, was perfect for summer parties.
The garden is spectacular in spring and summer, the wildlife is outstanding. There's a king fisher who comes and ducks regularly land on the pond, we have seen stoats, water voles, deer, badgers and of course frogs and toads. I will miss sitting drinking coffee and watching the swallows fly.
