It stands on the charming site of a much earlier water mill and is not listed. The stone part of the house to the north was once the Miller’s Cottage, formerly two flats, but has now been incorporated into the main house accommodation. It ceased to be a working mill in the 1920’s. In 2006, the house was renovated to an exceptionally high standard and now presents beautifully. The current owners have created a very stylish and contemporary house, yet have preserved the integrity of the building superbly. Much of the ground floor is laid to limestone with underfloor heating and the drawing room floor has wide elm boards. The principal rooms are well proportioned with good ceiling heights and tall sash windows that let in plenty of light. The Drawing Room is a particularly impressive room with Gothic style French windows opening directly onto the terrace and mill race. Many of the rooms have delightful views over the gardens and river and the sound of water running by is very tranquil. The Kitchen / Breakfast Room has been designed by Chalon with a 4 oven Aga and separate electric hob. Some of the kitchen furniture is free standing and there is ample space for sofas and family relaxing. From the large reception hall an impressive sweeping staircase with an oak handrail leads to the first floor, which contains the principal bedrooms and bathrooms. The second floor is approached by two separate staircases and provides further accommodation. Please see the floor plans for the room dimensions and layout.
