Descend the elegant oak and glass staircase into the breathtaking kitchen and breakfast room, showcasing shaker-style oak cabinetry, sleek quartz countertops, and gold accents, all thoughtfully designed for luxurious living. The natural limestone flooring continues, with a staircase leading to the spacious family or games room below, with a handy utility room hidden away with access to the garden.

The sitting room is a spacious, light-filled area with dual-aspect views of the surrounding woodlands and lawn. The sleek fireplace and rich oak flooring, with a roaring log burner creating the perfect atmosphere to enjoy the beauty of the changing seasons from the warmth of home.

A Seamless Blend of Indoor and Outdoor Living

One of Mill Cottage's highlights is its seamless connection to the outdoors. The bifold doors open up to a south-facing garden, which enjoys sunlight all day, creating an ideal space for al fresco dining or parties under the stars. The property’s extensive outdoor Sonos sound system ensures your gatherings are set to the perfect soundtrack.

The surrounding grounds are a horticultural oasis, with stunning lake views and the magical Gefeiliau Brook, complete with its own waterfall, running alongside the home. The balcony off the principal bedroom offers a peaceful retreat where you can sip your morning coffee or evening wine while listening to the soothing sounds of the water.

Modern Comforts Meet Timeless Charm

Outside, find a stylish outbuilding in keeping with the aesthetic of the home with a fully equipped gym and store room.

In addition to this, find another store building in the garden for all your gardening equipment.
