A unique, BEAUTIFULLY RENOVATED FARMHOUSE and an old watermill, situated in an attractive valley and with STUNNING VIEWS. The property is surrounded by approximately 1.6 HECTARES OF LAND with STREAMS, a MILL POOL and a SWIMMING POOL. This natural stone five bedroom house is the result of a very tasteful conversion of a characterful farmhouse and attached barn into a substantial, family home. Peace and quiet are guaranteed, with its own watercourse and pond providing the background sound of running water and close proximity to nature.
Reached via a private drive, leading to generous parking, the property benefits from substantial, well maintained gardens partly laid to lawn, with feature trees and shrubs, but also containing a mill pond, paddock, stream and second, natural pond. A large, modern (heated) swimming pool and terrace provides an ideal vantage point, perfectly orientated for outdoor summer living and entertaining.
Internally, the accommodation, arranged over ground and first floors, with impressive mezzanine, provides a very comfortable and attractive blend of exposed beams and original features with modern, high quality facilities including central heating, log burners and double glazing.
The separate water mill and outbuildings add a great deal of potential to the property, with numerous possibilities for the creation of additional accommodation, if required.
Perfect for full time residence, or luxurious holiday breaks, all year round.

ADDITIONAL BUILDINGS
Facing the main house exist the original, unrestored mill building and additional, attached store.
The mill building still retains most of its original (unrestored) equipment and continues to benefit from the free-flowing mill race adjacent, which could potentially be used as a source of water driven power. Together, the building and water source could therefore provide an interesting renovation project.
The adjacent three storey store building currently houses the swimming pool filtration equipment in the basement. The roof has been reconstructed and the ground / first floors could readily provide additional, habitable accommodation (planning consent for such work has previously been obtained).
