5 bedroom detached house for sale

Converted into a picturesque home, a Grade II listed former mill house, occupying a breath-taking setting, with gardens, lake, stream and woodland extending to about 8 acres.

A beautiful stone house adorned by a magnificent rambling wisteria and overlooking its own private lake, Barford Mill is now on the market for the first time in over 40 years.

It is understood to have been part of a trio of mills operating on the Barford stream, the upper and lower mills involved in flock and papermaking while Barford Mill ground corn. Grindstones can be found in the gardens. The mill stopped working commercially before the 1930s and was converted into a private house.

The accommodation boasts many fine features, including beautiful wood panelling, parquet floors, exposed beams, panelled doors, open fireplaces and an impressive oak staircase.

The property is approached by a long driveway leading to a parking area and a detached timber outbuilding providing garaging, workshop and log store.

The gardens and grounds provide a truly spectacular setting. An oasis of calm and tranquillity amongst the sound of flowing water and bird song. Perfect as a romantic escape, family home or weekend retreat.
