Tucked beside a small river in the peaceful countryside near Blisland, this Grade II listed cottage blends historic charm with practical living. The house has been sympathetically extended to provide a light-filled garden room, a bespoke granite kitchen with pantry and utility, and generous reception space featuring exposed stone, beams and two fireplaces — one with a multi-fuel burner. Two of the four bedrooms have en-suites, alongside a family bathroom and a separate shower room.
The property sits within almost three acres of landscaped gardens, woodland and water features, including a former 17th-century mill ruin and an islanded pond that attracts kingfishers and other wildlife. Outbuildings include a double timber carport, a large garage/workshop (part of the old mill) and ample driveway parking — useful for hobbies, storage or vehicles.
Important practical points are upfront: the house’s Grade II listing will restrict alterations and may complicate modernisation or extensions. There is a medium flood risk in the area where the river forms a boundary, and the location has no mobile signal and slow broadband speeds. The substantial grounds and heritage fabric will require ongoing maintenance and care.
For buyers seeking seclusion, character and scope for sensitive improvement, Cassacawn Mill offers a rare combination of history, wildlife-rich gardens and usable ancillary space. It will particularly suit those who value rural privacy and are comfortable managing a listed property and large grounds.
