Detached period house with exposed beams and fireplaces
Formerly two cottages—flexible to remodel or split into annexe
Large private gardens, workshop, garage and courtyard parking
Total size c.2037 sq ft across multi-storey layout
Requires renovation throughout; cosmetic and thermal upgrades needed
Stone walls assumed uninsulated; double glazing pre-2002
Hot-water cylinder arrangement limited to one bathroom
Freehold; quiet conservation area but local area shows deprivation
Set on a generous plot in Mill Lane conservation area, The Old Mill is a characterful detached house with clear potential. Originally two cottages, the wide rooms, exposed beams and fireplaces give authentic period charm and space for a comfortable retirement home, annexe or rental income once updated.
The layout provides flexible options: large entrance hall, two reception rooms, kitchen with adjoining utility, workshop, garage and very private rear gardens. The property is being sold freehold and benefits from mains gas central heating, double glazing (installed pre-2002) and off-road parking with scope to enlarge parking provision.
Important practical points: the house needs renovation throughout — cosmetic updating, possible insulation improvements to the stone walls, and services should be checked by a surveyor. The hot-water cylinder serving one bathroom is foam-lagged and limited in scope. For a buyer willing to invest, the property offers strong remodeling potential and immediate privacy in a quiet town-fringe location.
This home will suit a downsizer or retired buyer seeking character and outdoor space, or an investor/handyperson aiming to remodel or create an annexe/rental. The setting is peaceful with local amenities and good mobile signal, but the neighbourhood shows signs of wider area deprivation; buyers should budget for refurbishment and professional checks.
