Set on about an acre with sweeping countryside views, The Mill House marries traditional stone character with generous modern outbuildings. The principal house offers four bedrooms, two reception rooms and a large sitting room opening onto an elevated deck that frames the surrounding rolling landscape — an easy choice for families seeking space and privacy.
Outside, the plot delivers multiple usable zones: landscaped lawns, a large flat play area, a heated swimming pool and an oak-framed outbuilding with ground-floor gym, home office and a first-floor self-contained apartment suitable for a holiday let or annex. Parking is plentiful with two oak-framed garages, additional parking capable of accommodating a motorhome, and covered storage.
Practical details are straightforward: freehold tenure, chain free sale, double glazing fitted since 2002, septic tank drainage and oil-fired central heating with radiator system. The property dates from before 1900 and sits in a very affluent, low-crime area with fast broadband and excellent mobile signal — well placed for families who want rural seclusion without poor connectivity.
Buyers should note a few material points: the main heating is oil-fired and walls are of original sandstone/limestone with assumed limited insulation; the property may therefore benefit from energy-efficiency improvements. Council tax is in a higher band and the septic tank and pool plant will require ongoing maintenance. There is renovation potential in parts of the house and outbuildings for those looking to add value or adapt the annex further.
