Mill House is a beautifully positioned timber framed period home believed to date back to the 1700's and occupies a wonderful plot of 0.2 acre overlooking Billingford common and windmill. The property, believed to have once been two cottages, has been extended over the years to now offer substantial accommodation of approximately 2100 square feet over three floors. The ground floor offers an entrance porch leading into the original part of the house which provides two large reception rooms each with fabulous inglenook fireplaces, many exposed beams and hidden staircases rising to the first floor. The kitchen, utility room, wet room and conservatory are found to the rear forming part of a later extension. The first floor offers three double bedrooms and a bathroom. There is a large bedroom and en-suite bathroom to the second floor which enjoys the most wonderful views over the common. The property boasts many charming period features and benefits from oil fired central heating and wood burner in the sitting room both having been installed in recent years. There are some replacement upvc double glazed windows to the second floor and kitchen, otherwise most windows have secondary glazing.
Externally the property is located off Low Road with a long driveway taking you passed the windmill to the front of the cottage. There is a large detached garage with mezzanine which has potential to be converted (stpp) into a studio or annexe but currently is used for storage. There is an additional workshop accessed from the conservatory. The plot extends to approximately 0.2 acres with gardens that are mainly laid to lawn with an abundance of mature trees including fruit trees, shrubs and flower beds.
