DESCRIPTION
A beautifully presented three bedroom home, forming part of an attractive Grade II Listed silk mill conversion and offered with no onward chain. The property benefits from an array of period features throughout whilst also having light and spacious living accommodation, perfect for day to day living and entertaining guests. The house has recently been fully re-decorated and a brand new boiler fitted, making it a fantastic 'turn key' property.
The property is configured with the bedrooms on the ground floor and the living accommodation on the first floor, opening out to the private patio and gardens. The open plan kitchen / dining / family room is an exceptional room with a southerly aspect providing an abundance of natural light. The sociable kitchen comprises a range of bespoke farmhouse style wooden units topped with wooden worksurfaces, a Belfast sink, double electric oven, gas hob, fridge, space for a built-in dishwasher and ample space for a dining table to seat eight to ten people comfortably. The room has a wealth of architectural features such as exposed brickwork, wooden beams and an original fireplace providing the benefit of period elegance with the convenience of a modern home. The kitchen opens out to the private patio and gardens, perfect for outside dining and entertaining. Also within the kitchen/dining room is ample space for a comfy seating area or a large space for a banquet table if desired. A utility cupboard provides the necessary electric and plumbing to have the washing machine tucked away. The sitting room is another wonderful space with views over the communal garden to the front of the house along with exposed brick wall, wooden flooring and a large feature alcove where textiles from the working mill would have been loaded onto carts below.
On the ground floor are three double bedrooms and the main bathroom which comprises a fully tiled bath with shower above, toilet, wash hand basin and heated towel rail. The principal bedroom is flanked by stone mullion windows looking to the courtyard and spacious handmade wardrobes. The room benefits from a fully tiled ensuite shower room with a walk-in corner shower, toilet, wash hand basin and heated towel rail. Two further double bedrooms also have fitted wardrobes, mullion windows and views to the front of the house.

The property is accessed through a beautifully presented communal courtyard garden surrounded with a wide variety of bushes and shrubs. To the side of the property is a private, peaceful garden with a low maintenance lawn and a large patio area, perfect for outside furniture. Wooden steps lead to a south facing terrace, a pleasant sun trap. The garden backs directly onto woodland, ideal for watching passing wildlife or exploring the extensive countryside walks. There are two allocated parking spaces plus separate visitors parking.
