Property description & features
- Tenure: Freehold
The Mill House in Wollaston is a distinctive lifestyle property, uniquely positioned on its own private island in a serene rural setting set in gardens of 1.53 acres. Adjacent to the River Nene, the property features a historic millrace that flows into a millpond, with a rich milling heritage. Currently, the property includes nine permanent moorings for narrow boats, which can be vacated with 30 days' notice if required by the purchaser. More details are available in the property particulars but this can be further extended.
The property is accessed via a long, adopted driveway approximately three-quarters of a mile from Doddington Road, just beyond the Summer Leys Nature Reserve. The Mill House is centrally situated on the island, offering potential for remodeling or extending, subject to necessary consents. The property includes a variety of outbuildings and an attached double garage, with land extending on both sides.
Upon entering the house, the entrance hall features a cloakroom/utility area. The sitting room, with its wood-burning stove, provides a cozy retreat. The kitchen/breakfast room offers generous space for family dining and gatherings. On the first floor, the house comprises three bedrooms and a four-piece family bathroom.
The Mill House stands out for its superb and secluded location, making it an ideal lifestyle home for those who love nature and the outdoors. The property offers versatile possibilities, whether developed into a fabulous private family residence or continuing as a boatyard/mooring facility. Alternative uses are also an option, depending on the buyer's vision.
