Set behind grand iron gates within an impressive walled garden, this seven-bedroom detached house blends a converted mill’s character with a recent two-storey contemporary extension. The main living room features high ceilings, an open fireplace and full-height retractable glazing that opens onto a large terrace and the wide lawn — ideal for family life and entertaining. The kitchen centres on a substantial quartz island with an adjoining dining area and utility room. A new extension adds a further reception room and a ground-floor bedroom, increasing flexibility for multi-generational use.
Arranged over multiple floors, the home provides six double bedrooms with en suites on the upper levels and generous landings with good storage. A subterranean cinema room and a separate front studio broaden the accommodation for leisure or home-working. Practical elements include a garage, driveway parking and double glazing installed post-2002.
Sustainability and energy efficiency were part of the design: reclaimed brickwork, Siberian larch cladding, upgraded insulation and a hybrid heating system combining an air source heat pump with a gas boiler reduce running costs compared with older houses. The property sits on around 0.75 acres (very large plot) in a prosperous countryside setting, with easy access to nearby towns, mainline stations and a wide range of local schools and amenities.
Notable considerations: a small adjoining plot is included in the sale but has no planning permission (no applications made or granted) and therefore cannot be relied on for further development. The house is in a hamlet/isolated setting, which suits privacy seekers but means fewer immediate local services. Council tax is described as quite expensive. Mobile signal is average, although broadband speeds are reported as fast.
