Mill Place Farmhouse is an elegant Grade II listed Georgian house offering over 4,000 sq ft of flexible family accommodation across three floors. Immaculately presented interiors retain period character: sash and casement windows, exposed timbers, attractive fireplaces and high ceilings that give principal reception rooms a formal yet lived-in feel. The kitchen is well equipped with a Rangemaster and Belfast sink and opens to the rear aspect, suitable for daily family use.
The property sits in substantial grounds of about 3.8 acres with formal lawns, a well-stocked pond, orchard, vegetable plot, two 35ft barns and outbuildings. A detached triple garage includes a first-floor studio/home office with services connected — useful as workspace or ancillary accommodation. Additional land is available by separate negotiation (Lot 2 Guide Price £75,000), increasing scope for equestrian, hobby farming or subdivision (subject to consents).
Important practical points: the house is Grade II listed, which will restrict alterations and may complicate works and maintenance. The location carries a high flood risk and broadband speeds are very slow. Council tax is described as quite expensive. These factors are material for buyers planning renovation, extensions or home-working that depends on fast connectivity.
This home will suit buyers who value historic character, generous internal proportions and large grounds — particularly families seeking space, gardeners, smallholding enthusiasts or buyers looking for a substantial country residence with scope to personalise under the constraints of listed status.
