A highly versatile home situated on a large waterside location, just 10 minutes' walk from the Georgian market town of Stamford.

The cottage has seen many changes over the years and now offers extensive accommodation, which could suit a variety of lifestyles. Alternatively, subject to gaining the necessary planning permission, there is development potential for the replacement of the existing property.

Set in idyllic grounds of just over half an acre, which includes parking for several vehicles.

Step Inside - On the ground floor, along with a large kitchen and utility room, there are three reception rooms as well as a ground floor bedroom beside which sits a shower room.

The first of three staircases rises to another room which could allow this entire area to be used as an annex, if required.

The dining room is a great space for entertaining and offers enough space even for the largest gatherings. There are some lovely features to capture the imagination with pretty window seats, exposed ceiling timbers and French doors which open onto the mature lawn garden.

The large kitchen dining living space is partially vaulted and connects really well with the outside space with French doors opening onto a stone terrace with pool beyond.
The kitchen itself offers a vast array of storage along with a large central island with granite work surfaces providing great prep space. There is lots of room for a dining table plus space for a sofa, ideal for everyday living.

The utility room is directly off the kitchen and provides more storage plus space for white goods.

The charming sitting room sits in the heart of this home with flag stone floors and a wonderful limestone fireplace housing a wood burning stove giving a great focal point to the space. This lovely room is dual aspect so flooded with natural light and flows easily via French doors to a third reception room, currently used as a home office.

The home office is a great space with views to both the south facing garden and the northerly courtyard. In the corner is an iron spiral staircase which rises to a first-floor bedroom. This area could be great as an annex or teenagers' den or simply a cosy snug or hobbies room.

Again, with flexibility in mind, there is a further bathroom downstairs.

Upstairs - Two of the staircases give access to four of the bedrooms.

The principal bedroom is a peaceful space with a good range of bespoke wardrobes and an en suite bathroom with a bathtub, separate shower, loo and vanity wash hand basin.

Next door is a guest bedroom with en suite shower room.

There are two further interconnecting bedrooms currently arranged as a bedroom and a large dressing room, however, these rooms can be used as separate bedrooms if desired.

Outside - Mill Cottage sits in the most idyllic plot of just over half an acre of pretty gardens, woodland walks, and charming river frontage.

Flag stone steps lead down to a magical sunken island encompassed by a gently winding stream which eventually meets the River Gwash.

The property is accessed via a shingle driveway flanked by lawn gardens beyond which is a generous parking area, a large double garage plus a further car port.
The garden encircles the house with various seating areas, lawns, plus a large south facing stone terrace with pool (requiring updating).
