Mill House is a substantial five-bedroom thatched cottage set in just under 4 acres of paddock, meadow and woodland. The setting is private and peaceful, with a spring-fed lake and island as the focal point, plus a fenced paddock suitable for grazing or a kitchen garden. Interiors retain period character — exposed beams, generous reception rooms and large principal suite — and the ground floor flows well for family life and entertaining.
The plot includes a triple garage with upgraded electrics and plumbing, a glamping pod with services, and a solar-powered hideaway by the lake. Practical recent improvements include a re-ridged and re-thatched porch, repaired and heightened chimneys, a new wood-burner flue and boiler works, a new water tank, and a modern sewage treatment plant. There is a private well with electric pump alongside garden mains supply.
The property does require modernisation throughout. Cosmetic and systems updates will be needed to bring living spaces fully up to modern standards, and broadband speeds are slow which may affect home working without alternative connectivity. Council tax is described as quite expensive. Despite these issues, the combination of size, setting and income potential from outbuildings makes this an appealing purchase for a family seeking a character country home or buyers wanting a rural project with scope to add value.
This is an end-of-chain opportunity in a well-served rural location with good primary schools nearby and rail links from Pewsey. The house offers immediate use with scope to personalise and enhance, particularly for buyers wanting outdoor space, equestrian or smallholding potential, or holiday/letting possibilities subject to consents.
