Description
Mill House is a characterful Grade II Listed property, parts of which are believed to date back to the 17th century. Many features remain including open fireplaces, numerous exposed beams and timbers, and wide polished floorboards to the first floor.
The well-proportioned accommodation comprises a spacious reception hall, sitting and dining rooms, all of which give direct views over the village church. To the rear is the kitchen / breakfast room which is well fitted and gives access to the rear gardens. On the first floor are four bedrooms, where front bedrooms 1 and 2 also give delightful views to the church and surrounding street scene. The remaining rear bedrooms interconnect, leading to the end studio which can also be accessed via the ground floor workshop. The latter two rooms give potential to adapt into the main house – either by extending the kitchen with bedroom directly above, or by providing a self-contained annex. Although there is a cloakroom to the first floor, there is also ample space to create at least one bathroom subject to listed building consent.
Outside, the west facing gardens are a particular feature having areas of terracing lawns flanked by established flower and shrub borders with mature trees. A large timber workshop/garden store adjoins the house providing ample storage.
A single garage, which requires rebuilding, is reached via the drive to the Doctor’s Surgery and could be significantly enhanced, subject to planning consent.
Agents note: The red line on image 14 delineates a flying freehold, whereby the dining room to Mill House is located beneath the bedroom of next door. The next door owners have expressed interest in purchasing this room, which is at the sole discretion of the forthcoming purchaser. For further details please contact us.
