Summary - DETTON MILL HOUSE, KIDDERMINSTER, CLEOBURY MORTIMER DY14 8EU
Grade II listed timber-framed mill house with strong period features
Detton Mill House is a Grade II timbered mill house set on a very large, private riverside plot four miles from Cleobury Mortimer. The house retains strong period character: exposed beams, leaded windows, panelling, a stone inglenook with wood-burning stove and a traditional coal-fired AGA in the fitted kitchen. Generous reception rooms — sitting room, library, breakfast room and study — suit family living and home working alike. One bedroom and bathroom are accessed by a separate staircase, offering useful multi-generational or annexe potential.
The gardens are a major selling point: extensive lawns, herbaceous borders, terraces for alfresco dining, mature specimen trees, greenhouses and private river frontage with abundant wildlife. The plot provides seclusion and scope for sympathetic landscaping or modest garden projects while preserving historic character.
Buyers should note practical constraints: the property is Grade II listed so alterations will be restricted and may be costly; the house has private drainage and an EPC status of Exempt. There is a recorded medium flood risk to the area, and fishing rights are excluded (although negotiable separately). These factors make the house best suited to purchasers comfortable with maintaining a historic home and navigating listed‑building requirements.
Overall, this substantial period home will appeal to families or buyers seeking a characterful riverside house with flexible accommodation and a large, private garden. It rewards careful upkeep and sensitive improvements rather than wholesale modernisation.
