This substantial former mill house offers nearly 4,700 sq ft of remodelled living space across six bedrooms and four bathrooms — ideal for an established family seeking character with contemporary comforts. The house combines period features and a modern extension, with bespoke kitchen, high-spec sanitaryware and a new zoned heating system that includes underfloor heating and app control for convenience.
Set beside Norton Mill with views over the mill pond, the property occupies a huge landscaped plot with mature trees and a gated gravel driveway. Recent works include new double glazing, external burnt Japanese Larch cladding and new electrics, so much of the heavy renovation has already been completed.
Practical considerations: heating is oil-fired (not on a communal supply) but is solar-compatible; the building is solid brick and was constructed before 1900 so external wall insulation may be required to reach modern standards. Broadband in the area is very slow and council tax is described as very expensive — both important factors for remote working or long-term running costs.
For families wanting space, privacy and character near good local schools, this property offers immediate high-spec accommodation with scope to personalise. Buyers should budget for ongoing energy costs and potential insulation improvements if they want to maximise efficiency.
