A characterful, newly renovated five-bedroom detached home in the sought-after village of Bitteswell. Formerly a bakery and mill, the house combines original period features — exposed timbers, bread oven chimney breast and solid brick walls — with high-spec contemporary fittings, a fitted kitchen with island, and generously proportioned reception rooms across three floors (over 3,000 sq ft).
The property sits on a large landscaped plot with a private courtyard, extensive lawns, paved entertaining terraces, greenhouse, shed and a summer house currently used as a gym but easily repurposed as a home office. Practicalities include a car port, off-street parking, utility room, double glazing and mains gas central heating; broadband speeds are reported as fast and there is no flood risk.
Notable positives are the flexible layout (three floors, principal suite with walk-in wardrobe and two en‑suites), village location close to excellent schools and commuter links, and extensive outdoor space. Important factual drawbacks: the building is of solid brick construction with assumed no cavity insulation in walls, council tax is high (Band G), local crime level is above average and services have not been independently tested. Buyers should verify service connections and any planning/consent for historic alterations.
This house will suit a family seeking roomy, characterful accommodation in a prosperous rural setting, or buyers wanting a blend of period charm and recent refurbishment. It offers immediate move-in quality with potential to adapt the summer house or upstairs living room for home working or additional sleeping space.
