A substantial Victorian detached home set in almost an acre of riverside grounds, Mill House offers grand rooms and period detail for a family seeking space and character. Interiors are impressively large with three reception rooms, a breakfast kitchen with island, and four double bedrooms across two upper floors. Mature lawns slope down to the River Soar where a private mooring sits at the foot of the plot. A detached four-car garage and sweeping driveway add practical appeal for households with multiple vehicles.
The house retains many period features including sash windows and feature fireplaces, while generous storage and room sizes create flexible living arrangements for home offices, playrooms or guest accommodation. Nearby schools include a highly ranked primary and a respected independent college, making the location suitable for families. The semi-rural setting between Cossington and Rothley provides a tranquil, affluent neighbourhood with very low crime and excellent mobile signal.
Buyers should note material considerations: the property sits in a high flood-risk zone with river-frontage, external walls are likely uninsulated solid brick, and double glazing was installed before 2002. Heating is by an LPG boiler and council tax is described as quite expensive. Broadband speeds are very slow, which may affect remote working until upgraded. These factors are important for insurance, running costs and potential renovation budgets.
Overall, Mill House is a rare riverside period home offering substantial living space and grounds. It will suit purchasers wanting character and scope for modernisation, and who are comfortable managing flood-related precautions and upgrading services to contemporary standards.
