Mill House is a handsome, Georgian red-brick period property offering a wealth of stunning period features throughout and positioned within just over 3 acres of well-established gardens and grounds. The property offers potential for updating, and would make a conveniently located, handsome family home.

Behind an attractive façade the welcoming reception hall leads through to the majority of the ground floor accommodation. Two large reception rooms are found either side of the entrance hall; the sitting room which has two tall sash windows, providing wonderful natural light and a feature fireplace and the formal dining room, again with fireplace and large Georgian style French door. The adjacent conservatory provides a sunny spot to enjoy the gardens with direct access to the same. Towards the rear of the property is the spacious kitchen, fitted with a large pantry, and a breakfast room, which could be used as a family room or perhaps a larger study.

To the first floor the generous principal bedroom has built-in storage and adjacent shower room creating an excellent suite with stunning views over the gardens and countryside beyond. With three further bedrooms, the first floor in addition has a family bathroom, with a further shower room located on the ground floor.
