The old mill workings can be fully viewed on the lower ground floor. The property benefits from double glaxing throughout with oil central heating in most areas.
Outside, there is plenty of space to relax and enjoy the beautiful setting, including a stunning new 7x4m pool with a terrace, and an open barn at the water's edge.
A large double height barn/garage adjoining the house completes the ensemble.

A cosy entrance hall with a spacious bathroom to one side, leads into the large sitting room. To the right, a newly fitted kitchen leads to a utility room, which gives access to the large, double height barn.

From the dining room, a staircase leads to a mezzanine office/sitting room. To the right, a corridor leads to four double bedrooms and a bathroom. To the left is an expansive master suite, with a large en-suite bathroom, a dressing room, wooden beams and floorboards
