DESCRIPTION
BARNES MILL
Barnes Mill is a beautifully converted Mill and adjoining Mill House enjoying an exceptional riverside setting located at the end of a quiet no through road. Barnes Mill and Barnes Mill House each has its own title, although the houses can be simply converted back to a single property, if required.
Barnes Mill offers almost 4,500 sqft of light and airy accommodation, with well-proportioned, square rooms all immaculately presented with an abundance of charm and character throughout. Set across three floors, the current owners of 25 years, have created a wonderful and flexible home. To the ground floor the spacious entrance/dining hall enjoys a most impressive glass enclosed area boasting views over the mill race & former water wheel and offers access to a shower room, utility room & a charming kitchen breakfast/dining room in which the mill workings have been retained, featuring the mill spur wheel & large timbers. The kitchen area features a range of fitted units, butler sink, AGA, central island, integrated appliances and a pantry. This fantastic dining/living area offers access via double doors onto an idyllic terrace with a west facing seating area which enjoys the most enviable views of the surrounding water and gardens.
To the first floor there is a magnificent, dual aspect reception room offering stunning front and rear , easterly & westerly views, comprising a significant living area with impressive brick inglenook fireplace and an extensive study enjoying easterly views. A Guest/bedroom two with a lovely en suite & further family room/2nd study if required.
To the second floor there are three further double bedrooms all benefitting from excellent westerly views with a cloakroom serving two of the bedrooms, and of particular note, the master bedroom with a generous en suite offering a roll top bath, separate shower and a double vanity unit.
OUTSIDE

The grounds have been designed to deliver a thriving countryside feel within Central Chelmsford, which offer peace and tranquillity, great fresh water fishing, bird watching and many places in which to sit and enjoy the views.
BARNES MILL HOUSE
Barnes Mill House extends to approximately 2,500 sqft of light airy accommodation with the benefit of high ceilings and well-proportioned rooms with character features including exposed timbers and a red brick fireplace, with inset wood burner.
The ground floor comprises a wonderful open sitting & dining room offering access and views onto the east facing aspect. A good size kitchen/breakfast room, separate utility, W/C and access into the triple garage.

HISTORY
Both the Mill and Mill house are Grade II listed and believed to date from Circa 1700. “Essex Water Mills” by Helvey Benham remarks, “There was a fulling Mill here in 1408 owned by Coggeshall Abbey. The final corn Mill dated from about 1800 and adjoined the Mill house which is older. Barnes Mill was converted into a house in 1975. Little machinery remained when the conversion was undertaken. They were able to retain the splendid great spur wheel, about 11’ in diameter and the “Shut” which are stylish curved racks with pinions driven by worm and bevel.
