Features and description
Of period origins and extended in the 1950s and again more recently, Millcroft is an attractive stone cottage under a tiled roof in an enviable position with spectacular views over the surrounding countryside. In 2016/17 Millcroft was re-furbished with works including electrical re-wiring, replacement of all windows and external doors, the installation of a new kitchen with granite worktops and a new electric AGA and the modernising of bathrooms. The property now appears to be in very good order and has sensibly configured accommodation with nicely proportioned rooms including the sitting room with French windows opening onto the garden and a large principal bedroom and en-suite bathroom on the ground floor. Other works have included the installation of Dorset limestone flooring in the kitchen, and timber floorboards in the hall, dining room and sitting room.
The property is approached down Mill Lane onto a gravelled car parking and turning area adjoining which is the garage. The gardens are a particular feature and are laid principally to lawn with a variety of well stocked flower and shrub borders with maple and silver birch trees with a spring fed stream flanked by a rock garden running in a southerly direction. The gardens are bordered on all sides by hedging and to the west back onto open fields. There is an attractive terrace to the rear of the cottage flanked by well stocked flower and shrub borders including roses and sedum.
