The central reception hall, dominated by the striking stone staircase, leads to the ground floor rooms, which include a bright and traditional kitchen with a Juliet balcony overlooking the mill pond, a utility room, cloakroom, and an integral garage with exterior barn style sliding doors. The kitchen, with its terracotta tiled flooring, offers a range of cabinetry with wooden worksurfaces, an electric AGA, a central island with hob, and ample space for dining while enjoying tranquil water views.

Ascending to the first floor, the staircase opens into a double aspect sitting room featuring a log burning stove set on a natural stone hearth and French doors leading to a balcony overlooking the mill pond. Adjacent is a spacious study/reception room, ideal for working from home.

The plot is discreetly screened by high hedging and features a waterside sun terrace overlooking the mill pond, a large level lawn, a summer house, a mature orchard, and an array of specimen and established trees all enhancing the tranquil waterside setting with a 1.35 acre paddock in addition situated opposite the property.
