4 bedroom country house for sale

Council tax band: F

Old Mill House is an exquisite example of Georgian architecture, offering beautifully proportioned rooms and well-balanced symmetry, all configured to enjoy a southerly aspect across the valley and the old mill pond below.

The property has a welcoming and light-filled entrance hall, a glazed panelled door with a radial fanlight over and beautifully maintained stone flooring. Original doors lead to all rooms including the cellar, and a staircase complete with an eye-catching round headed window sweeps up to the first floor.

The sitting room, formerly two rooms, is a generous triple aspect room perfect for entertaining, which has a commanding view to the front elevation, retained picture and dado rails and a log-burning stove. The adjacent dining room has an equally pleasant outlook and lends itself well to formal entertaining, boasting a further log-burning stove and well-preserved original mouldings.

The kitchen/ breakfast room to the rear is a country kitchen equipped with a gas-fired Aga and a range of oak units alongside plenty of space for a family dining table. A door leads from the kitchen to a lobby which serves the cloakroom/WC and has a door to the rear garden and into the garage.

A generous landing is bathed in natural light with thanks to the stunning curved staircase window, and is framed by the original staircase. Each of the four bedrooms has a wonderful outlook and beautiful proportions, the master with the benefit of a good-size and well-presented ensuite shower room. The spacious family bathroom has a stylish suite with a double shower cubicle and a large bath tub.

Outside the property has a gated driveway with ample parking for multiple vehicles and a gravelled area providing access to the garage from the rear. Planning & Listed Building permission exists to convert the garage and adapt the existing kitchen to create a large kitchen/family room with a boot-room/utility alongside. There is also permission to erect a replacement detached garage with hayloft above.

The established gardens are a delight, enjoying a southerly aspect and an incredible outlook over the mill pond below. Well stocked with mature planting including an incredible selection of specimen roses set within a box hedge parterre, the extensive gardens can be enjoyed both from the house and the garden below. There is a generous area of lawn, alongside a terrace dedicated to vegetables with raised beds, Cotswold stone steps framed with vibrant nepeta connect the lower garden with the terrace, while a gateway leads through to the stables and paddock. The timber built stables sit within approximately an acre of land and offer two stalls as well as a tack room and an enclosed yard with a five bar gate leading into the paddock which enjoys a natural spring water supply and an abundance of wild flowers.

Uley, positioned in a stunning valley on the Cotswold escarpment boasts wonderful views to all sides; of particular note is the Uley Bury, an Iron Age hill fort sat above the village which commands views over the Severn Vale. Unlike many villages nowadays, Uley has a thriving community of young and old. There is a well-stocked community store run by volunteers and a much-supported post office, a well-regarded primary school, a dispensing doctors' surgery, local Public House, Brewery and the Prema Art Centre which is a fantastic venue for local events and also home to the popular Vestry Cafe. There are many groups and organisations if you wish to get involved including the Church, the WI, The Uley Society and Toddler Group - to name but a few.

This property is positioned on the outskirts of the village in the well-regarded hamlet of Rockstowes, a comfortable walk to the village amenities alongside plentiful surrounding footpaths and bridlepaths. The market town of Dursley which offers an excellent range of amenities is less than two miles away, while Stroud, Tetbury and Nailsworth each within eight miles have a more extensive range of facilities.
