Description

Mill House is a detached and extended cottage which is situated on the edge of the village which enjoys fantastic elevated views. Understood to have been the cottage to the Mill (formerly in the garden), the modest two bedroomed house was extended in the late 1970’s to create a four bedroomed home with particularly spacious and south facing principal bedroom, sitting room below, a utility/boot room and double garage. In more recent years, the windows have been upgraded to UPVC double glazed units, solar panels have been added (see Agent’s note) and there is zoned oil fired central heating.

Of part rendered, part brick and part weatherboarded elevations beneath a slate roof, the property is approached via a porch to a snug/dining room, the first of two reception rooms. This is a long room offering a variety of uses which connects to the kitchen and has a double aspect including a bay window and glazed door with partially glazed side panels to the hall. Beyond is the sitting room, a large, triple aspect room with south facing French doors to the garden and an open fireplace with brick surround.

The kitchen is fitted with a range of built in floor and wall mounted cupboards, open shelving, a sink and cooker, and leads to a useful utility/boot room with sink unit and doors to both front and rear. A cloakroom completes the ground floor accommodation.

On the first floor, there are four bedrooms and a family bathroom. The spacious main bedroom enjoys wonderful distant views, has a southerly aspect and en suite bathroom with bath and shower.
