4 bedroom detached house

Hole Mill is a stunning historic water mill property, set in a picturesque rural position close to the village of Branscombe.

The property, which dates from the 17th century, has been recently renovated to provide stylish, contemporary accommodation which compliments the handsome original detailing, including exposed timber beams and stonework.

The accommodation extends to 3,000 square feet and includes three ground floor reception rooms and four bedrooms. The main reception is the 25ft sitting room, which welcomes plenty of natural light through its tall
windows and includes wooden flooring and an impressive fireplace with a woodburning stove.

There is also a comfortable snug, and a light-filled dining room in the modern extension.

The well-proportioned kitchen and breakfast room has modern farmhouse-style units to base and wall level, a central island with a breakfast bar, a split butler sink and a range cooker. Additionally, a second kitchen provides further space for food preparation, or could be used as a
utility room.

The middle level between the ground and first floors has one well-presented double bedroom with built-in storage and an en suite shower room. The first floor provides three further bedrooms, including the generous principal
bedroom with its luxury en suite bathroom, featuring a freestanding bathtub and a walk-in shower. The first floor also includes a shower room.

Additionally, a second first-floor area accessed via stairs in the dining room leads to a spacious games room with a vaulted ceiling. Together with the dining room, second kitchen and shower room, this area could be used as
an annexe, owing to its own private entrance.

Garden and grounds
The house is set in delightful gardens and grounds, which include a mill pond and peaceful space in which to relax.

There are areas of patio for al fresco dining, as well as lawns, meadows and shaded woodland areas. A
stream runs through the grounds, feeding the natural swimming pool, which has an area of timber decking and a wooden jetty.

The property is accessed from the road via a lane, which leads to a spacious parking area at the front of the house.
