Originally the Millers Cottage, Grimscote Mill is a handsome four bedroom family house with a large garden surrounded by a farming community and farmland.

With over 2,400 square feet of accommodation and a detached double garage together with a courtyard for parking and lovely gardens, the property has so much to offer.

Double-glazed UPVC windows have been installed by the present owners, who have enjoyed living at Grimscote Mill since 1979, they also extended the kitchen and added the utility room with the dressing room and en suite shower room above.

Pitched roof porch to the entrance hall at the east end of the house, with a ground floor cloakroom off, the three reception rooms are all on the south side of the house with access to the garden. A brick chimney breast with a wood burner serving both the drawing room and the dining room, with exposed ceiling timber and arched alcove with cupboards under. Double doors from the drawing room lead to the study/sitting room/playroom.

The 22 ft long kitchen/breakfast room is fitted with an oven and grill and stainless steel sink and has a useful fitted utility room beyond with sink and its own door to outside.

To the first floor, off the landing approached by an open tread hardwood staircase with exposed stone wall behind, are four double bedrooms. The large principal bedroom, with windows to the south and west, has a dressing room and en suite tiled shower room. Bedroom two is also dual aspect and has a built-in wardrobe. The family bathroom has a corner bath and separate shower.

A gravel path, lawn and shrubs against the roadside wall lie to the front of the house. The principal garden lies behind the house with a paved patio with a low wall with planters, which extends to the side and front of the house, lawns, shrubs, rose and flower beds and mature trees, including flowering cherry, willow and fruit trees.
