** ATTRACTIVE CONVERSION OF A FORMER PERIOD MILL ** DECEPTIVE LEVEL OF ACCOMMODATION ** LAID OUT OVER 3 FLOORS ** 3 DOUBLE BEDROOMS ** ENSUITE & MAIN BATHROOM ** WEALTH OF CHARACTER & FEATURES ** PLEASANT ENCLOSED GARDEN ** OFF ROAD PARKING ** NO UPWARD CHAIN ** VIEWING HIGHLY RECOMMENDED **
We have pleasure in offering to the market this really interesting and deceptive conversion of a former mill, which has been thoughtfully renovated and extended over the years to create a versatile level of accommodation. The property spans three floors and retains much of it's original character, combined with the benefits of modern living.
The total accommodation approaches 1,050 sq.ft. and is large enough to accommodate families but will appeal to a wider audience, whether it be a single person, professional couples or even, potentially, those downsizing from larger dwellings and looking for an interesting home within a central village location.
The accommodation comprises an initial entrance hall leading through into an attractive dual aspect sitting room having an exposed brick fireplace with flagstone hearth and inset stove and a beautiful, heavily beamed ceiling and windows to the front and rear. The kitchen is tastefully appointed with a relatively generous range of modern units, again having a dual aspect and linking through into the useful addition of a conservatory at the rear which also, potentially, provides a utility space, having plumbing for a washing machine. To the first there floor there are two generous double bedrooms and a tastefully appointed bathroom with a contemporary suite and wonderful exposed beams. To the second floor is a stunning master bedroom having an attractive vaulted ceiling with exposed purlins and truss and benefitting from a contemporary ensuite shower room.
Each room offers it's own individuality and creates a wonderful space with a great deal of interest.
As well as the main accommodation the property occupies a pleasant position in the village, within walking distance of the wealth of amenities and set back from the lane behind an established frontage with well stocked borders. An initial shared access onto a gravelled driveway belonging to the property provides off road parking and a timber courtesy gate leads into an enclosed rear garden which is main laid to lawn and provides a pleasant outdoor space.
Overall viewing is the only way to truly appreciate both the location and accommodation on offer.
