4 bedroom country house for sale

Council tax band: F
Old Mill House is an exquisite example of Georgian architecture, offering beautifully proportioned rooms and well-balanced symmetry, all configured to enjoy a southerly aspect across the valley and the old mill pond below.

The property has a welcoming and light-filled entrance hall, a glazed panelled door with a radial fanlight over and beautifully maintained stone flooring. Original doors lead to all rooms including the cellar, and a staircase complete with an eye-catching round headed window sweeps up to the first floor.

The sitting room, formerly two rooms, is a generous triple aspect room perfect for entertaining, which has a commanding view to the front elevation, retained picture and dado rails and a log-burning stove. The adjacent dining room has an equally pleasant outlook and lends itself well to formal entertaining, boasting a further log-burning stove and well-preserved original mouldings.

The kitchen/ breakfast room to the rear is a country kitchen equipped with a gas-fired Aga and a range of oak units alongside plenty of space for a family dining table. A door leads from the kitchen to a lobby which serves the cloakroom/WC and has a door to the rear garden and into the garage.

A generous landing is bathed in natural light with thanks to the stunning curved staircase window, and is framed by the original staircase. Each of the four bedrooms has a wonderful outlook and beautiful proportions, the master with the benefit of a good-size and well-presented ensuite shower room. The spacious family bathroom has a stylish suite with a double shower cubicle and a large bath tub.

Outside the property has a gated driveway with ample parking for multiple vehicles and a gravelled area providing access to the garage from the rear. Planning & Listed Building permission exists to convert the garage and adapt the existing kitchen to create a large kitchen/family room with a boot-room/utility alongside. There is also permission to erect a replacement detached garage with hayloft above.

The established gardens are a delight, enjoying a southerly aspect and an incredible outlook over the mill pond below. Well stocked with mature planting including an incredible selection of specimen roses set within a box hedge parterre, the extensive gardens can be enjoyed both from the house and the garden below. There is a generous area of lawn, alongside a terrace dedicated to vegetables with raised beds, Cotswold stone steps framed with vibrant nepeta connect the lower garden with the terrace, while a gateway leads through to the stables and paddock. The timber built stables sit within approximately an acre of land and offer two stalls as well as a tack room and an enclosed yard with a five bar gate leading into the paddock which enjoys a natural spring water supply and an abundance of wild flowers.Tenure: Freehold
