A rare riverside home set in about 4 acres, Old Mill is a stone-built former mill dating from the early 1600s. The house combines period character—exposed stone, slate roof and a farmhouse kitchen with an Aga—with practical modern additions such as a large 16m x 14m garage and a range of useful outbuildings. The living room opens via double doors onto a balcony over the river, and a conservatory captures light and views across the grounds.
The grounds are the property’s strongest asset: flat, usable land suitable for ponies or small livestock, formal and informal garden areas, private river frontage and fishing rights. Ancillary buildings include a stable and tack room, a stone fisherman’s lodge with conversion potential, wood stores and workshop space, supporting a variety of rural lifestyles from hobby farming to equestrian or nature-focused living.
Buyers should note a number of practical considerations. The house is heated by an oil boiler and relies on oil fuel (not a community supply). The granite or whinstone walls are original and assumed to lack modern cavity insulation, so there will be energy-efficiency and maintenance implications. Broadband speeds are very slow despite excellent mobile signal, and there is only one family bathroom for four bedrooms. The location is remote within a small village setting, which suits privacy but means local services are limited.
This is a property for someone seeking a characterful rural home with large grounds and scope for improvement rather than a turn-key suburban house. It will particularly appeal to buyers who value privacy, wildlife and outdoor pursuits and who are comfortable managing period maintenance and potential upgrade works.
