The property is not listed despite having great character, and period features including an inglenook fireplace in the sitting room. The owner has made improvements to the accommodation, including re-positioning of the kitchen to the front of the house which is the hub of family living. This is a light and airy room well-fitted with a range of cupboards and integrated appliances.
On the ground floor is a cosy snug room, sitting room, study, utility room, cloakroom and rear hall which acts as a boot room. Both the sitting room and kitchen have French windows into the garden. Stairs from the hall lead down to the cellar. On the first floor, there are four bedrooms, a bathroom, en suite shower room and a separate WC. The house is partially double-glazed.
To the front of the house is the detached studio with power. Planning permission has been granted to convert this into a self-contained annexe, and there is also permission for a single garage. There is a former stable attached providing further storage. To the front of the house, approached through a timber gateway, is a gravelled area providing plenty of parking.
There is a path to the front door between the house and the studio. To the side are espaliered apple and pear trees, and there is a paved area to the rear of the house suitable for outside entertaining. The remainder of the garden is terraced and comprises mature trees and shrubs as well as a variety of flower and lavender borders. At the foot of the slope are fruit trees and a greenhouse. The garden adjoins the mill stream which enhances the idyllic setting.
Mill House is situated in the heart of the picturesque village of Bishopstone in an Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty and within a conservation area. The village has a thriving pub, The Royal Oak, a primary school and church. The nearby village of Shrivenham provides an independent florist, delicatessen, general store and two supermarkets. Hungerford and Marlborough are within easy driving distance and provide extensive shopping facilities including Waitrose in Marlborough and antique shops in Hungerford. The larger centres of Swindon, Newbury and Oxford are all within easy reach.
Communications are excellent with M4 junction 15 within easy reach, giving access to London, the west country, and also to the A419 giving access to the M5. Trains from Swindon are direct to London Paddington.
The surrounding countryside has numerous public bridleways and footpaths, including direct access onto the Ridgeway National Trail which lies to the south of the village.
There are many excellent schools in the area including Pinewood, St Johns in Marlborough, St Mary's and St Margaret's Calne and Marlborough College. There is also a village school bus to the Ridgeway School.
