A rare, historic mill house set over 6,232 sq ft with pronounced period character and flexible accommodation for a large family or multi‑generational living. The main residence marries original features—oak panelling, exposed beams, leaded windows and carved stone fireplaces—with generous reception rooms, an Aga kitchen/breakfast room and a principal suite with balcony and dressing room. A self‑contained two‑bedroom cottage provides guest or rental potential and practical separation for staff or extended family.
The property occupies a substantial elevated plot of approximately 2.22 acres with mature landscaping, terraces, lawns, woodland and direct river frontage to the River Gade. Leisure facilities include a heated swimming pool with pool house and extensive gated driveway parking plus detached garaging for 3–4 cars. Many reception rooms are double- or triple-aspect and open out to terraces and gardens, creating strong indoor–outdoor flow in warmer months.
Buyers should note material considerations: the house is historic (parts over 200 years old) with traditional granite/stone walls assumed to lack modern cavity insulation, and the site carries a medium flood risk. Heating is by mains gas boiler and radiators; council tax is very expensive. The scale and age of the buildings mean ongoing maintenance and sympathetic upgrading may be needed to meet modern energy standards.
This home suits an established family seeking provenance, space and privacy or an investor/owner-occupier looking to combine lifestyle with income from the separate cottage. The setting close to local schools, Kings Langley and commuter links makes it practical as well as picturesque.
