Period mill with annexe, pool and extensive grounds — ideal for multi‑generational living..
Riverside period mill set in c.5.7 acres with orchard and meadows
Pointwell Mill is an impressive period mill set on about 5.7 acres of waterside grounds, combining generous living space with self-contained accommodation and substantial outbuildings. The main house offers character features — exposed beams, sash windows and fireplaces — across three floors, with formal reception rooms, a conservatory, and a kitchen/breakfast room with an Aga. French doors and a balcony overlook mature lawns, meadows and orchard, creating an appealing setting for family life and entertaining.
The estate includes a separate annexe for independent living, a large pool house with open-plan living and sleeping space, a pool, summerhouse/office and an astroturf tennis court. Practical conveniences are close by: Kelvedon station is about two miles away and the village of Coggeshall provides shops, schools and regular community activities. The property’s scale and separate living quarters suit multi-generational families or anyone seeking a substantial country home with guest or rental potential.
Buyers should note important practical matters: the site is at high risk of flooding, which affects insurance and long-term maintenance planning. The annexe and pool house use a septic tank rather than mains drainage; the main house is on mains drainage. Parts of the property are of solid brick construction with assumed no cavity insulation, so upgrading thermal performance may be required. Council Tax for the main house is high (Band G), and the plot’s size brings ongoing upkeep responsibilities.
Overall this is a rare riverside mill with large grounds and multiple income/usage possibilities but it requires realistic budgeting for flood risk, drainage arrangements and energy/maintenance improvements.
