Old Mill is a distinctive stone-built former mill set on about 4 acres of riverbank grounds beside the River Banwy. The house retains period character — exposed stone, a farmhouse-style kitchen with an Aga, a conservatory and a riverside balcony off the living room — while generous grounds, outbuildings and modern garage provide practical space for hobbies and storage.
The site suits anyone wanting country living: flat, usable pasture for ponies or small livestock, a stable and tack room, a fisherman’s lodge with conversion potential, and private river frontage with fishing rights. Wildlife sightings are frequent, and the setting affords privacy and far-reaching rural views.
There are some material considerations. The house has one bathroom for four bedrooms and is constructed of older uninsulated stone walling (insulation status unknown), heated by an oil boiler — both likely to affect running costs. Broadband speeds are very slow and the location is remote, which may not suit home-workers who need fast connectivity. Ongoing maintenance and modernisation will be required in places, particularly when thermally upgrading a pre-1900 stone building.
Overall, this property is best for buyers seeking a character-filled country home with land and river access, who accept a maintenance and modernisation programme and value outdoor space and privacy over urban convenience.
