Mill house on the edge of the village conservation area.

Description

The Old Mill is a versatile village house, located on the edge of the sought-after village of Childswickham, within the Conservation Area. The site of the village mill dates back to the Domesday Book with construction of the current mill around 1650 in part. The property features fine exposed beams with an abundance of character throughout. The solid oak front door leads into a reception hall with a staircase to the first floor and lower ground floor. The ground floor consists of three reception rooms, all with dual aspects over the front and rear gardens. Both the sitting and drawing rooms are complete with inglenook fireplaces. The kitchen/breakfast room is fitted with quartz worktops, a mobile central island and integrated appliances.

A terrace lies at the front of the property, providing the perfect setting for alfresco dining and summer entertaining with fantastic views of the mature gardens and Childswickham Church. On the first floor is the principal bedroom suite which looks out over the gardens and church spire. There are three further bedrooms and a family bathroom.

On the lower ground floor is a guest suite which provides flexible accommodation or home office, gym or cinema. It has a separate courtyard garden so has the potential to generate a holiday let income. There is an additional one-bedroom flat which could be integrated into the main house if required.

Outside there is parking for up to four vehicles in front of the double garage which has power, light and water connected. A good-sized timber shed provides additional storage. Further along the lane at the northern boundary is a secondary access, providing additional parking.

The mature gardens benefit from wonderful views of the church and are laid to lawn with well-stocked shrub and flower borders.

A wooden bridge leads across a small weir to a further area of garden.
