Formally two separate properties (Mill House and Mill Cottage) Mill House has been sympathetically restored and renovated by the present owners since their purchase in 2016. The ground floor accommodation comprises five reception rooms. These include a formal dining room to the front aspect and feature fireplace, a good size family room and a separate office, ideal for home working. Of particular note is the impressive Open plan kitchen living/dining area which is the hub of the home. Bi-fold doors overlooking and open onto a rear private courtyard ideal for outdoor entertaining which leads to the rear garden and swimming pool.
The main sitting room has a vaulted ceiling with Velux windows, and bi-fold doors also opening onto the courtyard. Beyond is a versatile music room, which in turn opens onto an orangery with a live vine. The remainder of the ground floor includes a large laundry room, a separate utility room and cloakroom.
The first-floor landing is approached via stairs from the hall and accesses all seven bedrooms. Of particular note is the very spacious Master bedroom suite with dual aspect windows, a walk in dressing room and an en-suite bathroom which comprises a freestanding bath and walk in shower/wet room. Also on this floor is a refurbished family bathroom with a double walk-in shower.
Stairs from the first-floor landing leads to the second floor landing which provides access to the remaining three good-sized bedrooms and the refurbished three-piece suite family bathroom.
The self-contained annexe called Mill Cottage Studio is ideal for guests or perfect as a retreat for relatives either young or old. The annexe consists of an open plan living/bedroom space, a modern kitchen and three-piece suite shower room.
