A Grade II listed four bedroom detached house with driveway parking, a carport and approximately 0.5 acres of landscaped gardens. The property is accessed down a lane which leads to Forge Cottage and four other character properties, which were all once part of a working mill located opposite Old Westmill Farmhouse adjacent to the river. The mill building itself was destroyed in a fire in the 1960s. The five remaining buildings were bought by a developer and converted into homes 20 years ago. Period features have been retained including the original doors and windows, open fireplaces and exposed beams.

There is just over 2,300 sq. ft. of accommodation including the car-port. The property is divided into two wings. On the ground floor there are three reception rooms, a study and garden room leading to a galley kitchen. There is also a cloakroom. There are two staircases to the first floor which has four bedrooms and two bathrooms, one of which is an en-suite.
Being offered with no upper chain.
