The house was a former water-powered corn mill and its origins are believed to date back more than 200 years ago. The property has been sympathetically converted into what is now an impressive detached residence and it has retained many period features such as exposed timber ceiling beams.

Inside, the sitting room is spacious yet cosy and has a large fireplace with a wood-burning stove. This room flows into a 31ft kitchen/breakfast room, superbly fitted with bespoke wooden units, a split butler sink and a range cooker. The nearby dining room has an attractive original fireplace and a good size study is located at the front of the property. The ground floor is completed by a light and airy garden room with a southwest-facing aspect.

On the first floor, there are three good-sized double bedrooms and a family bathroom. The principal bedroom overlooks the garden and has a large en suite bathroom with a roll-top bathtub and a separate shower unit.

The property also has a detached annexe above a double garage, which would work well as a holiday let or for multigenerational living. The self-contained one-bedroom apartment features exposed timber beams and has a large sitting room, a fully equipped kitchen and a shower room.

Outside, the grounds measure 1.25 acres and include a large paved courtyard area with a pergola. Beyond this are rolling lawns interspersed with established flowerbeds, shrubs and wooded areas that are bordered by a mature hedgerow.
