Glazed French doors open from the dining area onto the courtyard, where the original mill creates a charming and distinctive backdrop for relaxed dining and gatherings with family and friends.

The property offers two open-plan living spaces, each providing plenty of room to relax and enjoy the character of the home. Exposed brickwork, views of the mill and underfloor heating add warmth and charm, creating inviting spaces throughout. A separate snug or office provides a quieter space to work or unwind, while a convenient W/C completes the ground floor accommodation.

This offers the opportunity to enjoy a more rural lifestyle without feeling far removed from the conveniences of town.

To the front, tall double iron gates open onto a generous driveway, providing off-road parking for several vehicles and creating an attractive approach to this distinctive home.
