Description

6 Old Mill Lane is a wonderful, stone-built detached house dating back to 1750. The property was built originally as cottages for the workers servicing the Inch Estate and is well-maintained and presented throughout.

The accommodation is set over two floors and offers generous and flexible living spaces, ideal for family living and entertaining. Externally, the property retains much of its period character and charm and has been excellently upgraded internally. Modern additions, include the kitchen extension and rebuilding of the garage with a bedroom extension above, the installation of double glazing in 2023, not forgetting the addition of a lovely summer house set back in the garden.

On entering, an extended hall readily provides access to the principle accommodation. The open plan kitchen lies to the rear of the property, with adjoined dining room and family room adjacent. Large dual aspect windows span the external wall looking out to the lovely garden and bringing in plenty of light all year round. Units run along three walls of the kitchen and there is an island with additional storage and a breakfast bar centring the room. Velux windows overlook the dining and family rooms and sliding glass doors in both lead out to the garden too.

To the front is a generous sitting room and bright garden room with multiple south west facing aspects. The modern gas stove sits on the lovely timber flooring that accents the oak doors and window frames. Leading off the sitting room is also a characterful bar, with stairs leading up to an additional living space and/or home office. These two rooms have their own entrance and could be used as a self-contained annexe.

Along the hall are bedrooms three, with ensuite shower, to five and the staircase leading up to the first floor. A utility with washer/dryer, family bathroom with bath and walk-in shower, and a WC are also on this level. Rising to the first floor is the principle bedroom, with large ensuite bathroom, private balcony and generous walk-in wardrobe that is tastefully hidden behind a glass mirror. Bedroom two is also on this level and doubles as an additional study.

There is a spacious, fully-enclosed, private garden at the rear. The garden is generous in size and gets sun throughout the day thanks to its length. The garden is laid to lawn with mature bedded plants and borders. There are two paved patio areas with space for a table and chairs, accessed from the dining and family rooms. A beautiful summer house overlooks the garden and wooden decking extends from it to provide further space for outdoor entertaining. Finally, an additional hut provides further useful storage space.

The property is set back from the road with plenty of off-street parking and a garage. The wide drive way has mature planting and hedges at either side which offers further privacy. To finish, a security alarm system is in situ throughout the property.
