4 bedroom cottage

An exquisite four-bedroom country residence, Mill Cottage has been extensively extended and meticulously renovated to an exceptional standard throughout. Seamlessly blending timeless charm with modern comfort, the property retains a wealth of original period features. Privately nestled within the grounds of the historic Chateau Impney, it enjoys a truly idyllic setting with captivating views over the surrounding parkland.

The property is approached via an ‘in and out’ gated gravel driveway, bordered by a deep fore garden. A substantial detached garage offers a large garden store below and a staircase leading to a generous loft storage area—ideal for hobbies, a studio, or additional storage. Further parking is provided by a detached timber double-width carport. A traditional outdoor WC adds charm and practicality.

A most impressive reception hallway sets the tone for this extraordinary home, offering the option for an additional dining area. Parquet flooring and feature wall panelling create a sense of warmth and character, with doors leading to the main reception areas, cloakroom, and a cloak closet. The lounge is light, spacious, and elegantly finished, featuring a central inset carpet, a charming open fireplace, and French doors opening to the rear garden—ideal for relaxed indoor-outdoor living.

At the heart of the home lies a delightful dining kitchen, complete with a cosy sitting area and window seat. Traditional flagstone flooring pairs beautifully with extensive wall and base cabinetry, all topped with granite worksurfaces. A central island with a solid wood butcher’s block surface offers further storage and workspace. A large walk-in pantry with fitted shelving and a dedicated gin store adds a touch of character. Integrated appliances include a dishwasher and fridge, with space allocated for an electric Aga beneath an illuminated canopy. The adjoining rear porch provides access to the gardens, while the separate laundry room is fitted with additional granite-topped units and full-height closets, with space for both a washing machine and tumble dryer.

A bespoke handmade Ash staircase, crafted in the Arts and Crafts tradition, leads to a stunning galleried landing with a lantern roof light. This spacious area includes a sitting/study zone and provides access to all four bedrooms, the main bathroom, and airing cupboard. The master suite enjoys rear-facing views over the gardens and includes a fitted dressing area. Its luxurious en-suite features a double shower, toilet, and basin set within a sleek vanity unit. Bedroom two is a generous dual-aspect room with built-in wardrobes and its own en-suite, comprising a bath with shower over, toilet, and basin. Bedroom three also offers a dual aspect and a fitted wardrobe, while bedroom four is a well-sized double with garden views. The main family bathroom is a showpiece in itself—finished with tasteful wall panelling and a classic ‘Burlington’ suite that includes a freestanding bath, double shower, toilet, and vanity-set basin.

Set within approximately 2 acres, the grounds and gardens of Mill Cottage are truly enchanting. The rear garden boasts a large stone patio ideal for al fresco entertaining, surrounded by expansive lawns, mature borders, and beautifully planted beds. A productive orchard with a variety of fruit trees, a wooded area bordering the River Salwarpe, flourishing vegetable patches, and a traditional outdoor privy enhance the rural lifestyle on offer.
