THE OLD CORNMILL is a highly individual and rather unique home of considerable style and character incorporating the base of an octagonal smock mill believed to date from the late C18. The property provides versatile and well proportioned living accommodation which has been subject to a number of improvements carried out during recent times and is set within this attractive rural setting placed amongst open countryside. The front door opens into a lovely wide reception hall where an attractive staircase rises to the first floor, a large picture window draws in natural light and looks out over the rear garden, timber flooring, further window to the front and ground floor cloakroom which has been refitted is set to one side. The sitting room has a pair of twin sash windows looking out to the rear and one to the front, attractive fireplace with fitted log burning stove. The Mill Room provides a further beautiful reception room which could serve a variety of purposes, octagonal in shape with windows on three sides, exposed beams and timbers, fireplace with fitted stove and staircase rising to the upper floor bedroom. Again, octaganol in shape with lovely vaulted timbered ceiling, window to the side and roof light above, natural timber floor. The kitchen/breakfast room provides ample space for table and chairs with two windows looking out to the front and French doors opening to the rear garden terrace. The kitchen is well appointed with a mix of granite and wooden worktops, a range of storage cupboards, butler sink and recess space for a range cooker. A timber framed conservatory-style garden room sits to one side with glazed roof and doors opening to outside, incorporating utility space for washing machine, tumble-dryer and fridge-freezer. There is a wide first floor landing which has two windows looking out to the rear, attractive timber flooring and incorporates an area which could serve as study space. There are 3 further bedrooms; the master looking out to the front with a dormer window to the rear having views over the gardens and open countryside, there is a walk-in wardrobe and an en suite bathroom which incorporates an attractive 3-piece suite. In addition, the further two bedrooms are served by a spacious and luxuriously appointed bathroom which incorporates a 4-piece suite including a large freestanding bath, walk-in shower and wash hand basin set on a wide wash stand with storage cupboards below.
OUTSIDE, to the front, a 5-bar gated entrance leads onto an extensive driveway which provides off-street parking space for several vehicles. The driveway is bordered by grass which incorporates a variety of mature plants, shrubs and trees with part-brick retaining wall with steps rising to a further area of lawn and pathway to the front door. To one side, a detached outbuilding incorporates a former garage and workshop area which is understood to be the former pottery of renowned potter Alan Spencer Green, where he is believed to have worked from the early 1960s. Whilst currently used for general storage, the building does have enormous scope for conversion, subject to the usual planning consents being obtained. The gardens to the rear are laid out predominantly to lawn and incorporate a wide variety of plants, shrubs and trees with a large terrace adjoining the back of the property which provides excellent space for outside entertaining.
AGENT'S NOTE: The vendors have gained planning permission for a building plot adjacent to the property which is being sold separately.
