Old Mill Cottage is a striking Grade II listed family house set in an exceptional rural parcel. Thoroughly restored around ten years ago, it offers four double bedrooms, a vaulted master suite, two bathrooms and four reception rooms across generous, character-filled accommodation. Ground-floor underfloor heating, exposed beams, inglenook fireplaces and a clever oak extension combine period charm with comfortable living.
Outside, the property sits within about 1.5 acres of formal gardens and a further 12.5 acres of ancient broadleaf woodland with a stream, Roman path and wildlife interest. The grounds include a detached one‑bed annexe/studio, oak four-bay garage, oak workshop, multiple parking areas and secluded patios — ideal for family life, hobbies or holiday‑let income from the annexe.
Practical considerations are clear and factual: the house is Grade II listed (which affects alterations), uses oil-fired heating, relies on private water and private sewerage, and had an insurance claim for an oil leak about ten years ago. The property is EPC exempt and lies within an AONB; the Government flood website records a very high flood risk despite no recent flooding during the current ownership.
This is a rural offering suited to buyers seeking an established countryside home with significant woodland, strong character and flexible outbuildings. It will particularly suit families wanting space and privacy, buyers who appreciate historic fabric, or purchasers able to manage listed-property obligations and private services.
