Mill Cottage is a restored four-bedroom detached period home set in roughly two acres of gardens, paddocks and private river frontage. The house mixes original stone character with recently refreshed interiors: engineered oak and slate floors, vaulted bedrooms and a high-spec kitchen with solid oak worktops and a Belling range oven. Multiple reception rooms, a separate utility and secure garage mean the layout suits family life, entertaining and home working.
Outside there is extensive parking, a single garage, carport and gated vehicular access to paddocks — useful for cars, trailers or small-scale equestrian use. The river frontage includes a natural swimming creek and exclusive trout fishing rights, offering rare countryside leisure directly from the garden. Landscaped formal gardens with mature fruit trees provide private outdoor space for children and adults alike.
Buyers should note material practical issues: the property sits in a high flood-risk zone and has oil-fired heating (boiler and radiators) with the home relying on a private fuel supply. The stone walls are traditional sandstone/limestone and are assumed to lack cavity insulation, which may affect running costs despite recent cosmetic renovation work. Council tax is described as quite expensive.
For families wanting a character-filled country home within easy reach of Frome, Mill Cottage offers scale, privacy and lifestyle potential. Its combination of landed grounds, river access and versatile internal space will suit buyers looking for countryside living, smallholding options or a home with holiday-let/income potential — provided they accept the flood risk and the ongoing costs of oil heating and older wall construction.
