6 bedroom detached house for sale

Description

Scotts Mill Farm is a beautiful Grade II listed timber-framed and red brick period house hidden away in an idyllic peaceful setting on the picturesque banks of the quaint River Marden. Dating back to the 17th Century, the property was the farmhouse serving the former mill which was located on the opposite side of the riverbank before being demolished in 1987. Positioned down a long, unassuming drive, the property comprises two parts; the main farmhouse and a range of substantial former farm outbuildings and a barn which have been converted into additional accommodation. In addition, the property sits within over 3 acres of grounds together with a 25 acre field.

The main farmhouse is filled with character and charm and is primely positioned to enjoy the lovely private setting. Arranged over two floors, the accommodation extends to around 2,400 sq.ft. to include four bedrooms, two bathrooms, and generous living accommodation of three reception rooms and a kitchen/breakfast room. This elegant and quintessential home offers potential to update and evolve further with a large attic having scope to convert, subject to obtaining the necessary consents.

A 53ft long single storey former parlour barn previously housed a swimming pool which could be reinstated if desired and is currently utilised as an outstanding studio. Beyond this, there is a magnificent barn which offers the secondary accommodation. Extending to 1,979 sq.ft, the barn has spacious accommodation with the impressive main part of the barn being full height to the eaves which includes the kitchen/breakfast room, and a spectacular living room with a galleried mezzanine/occasional bedroom over. A door leads to an inner hall with a ground floor double bedroom and WC, whilst stairs lead to a second double bedroom and bathroom.

The outstanding private location is the focal point of Scotts Mill Farm. Situated off a quiet country lane, the property is hidden away from all passing traffic and plays host to much local wildlife. The River Marden is a small river which connects to the River Avon providing a peaceful outlook as well as a pond within the grounds. The farmhouse overlooks an orchard avenue and the extensive lawns to the river bank. There is a large patio terrace positioned at the back of the house beside a well. The barns enjoy a traditional courtyard style setting with a water fountain at the centre. There is plenty of parking available at both properties and a double garage. The 25 acre field adjoins the property to the east.
