A stunning former Mill that has been subject to extensive renovations set in beautiful tiered gardens with meandering stream, large garage/workshop/studio and further outbuildings and set in a quiet valley amidst AONB and close to stunning coastline.

Property Description - This is a beautifully presented former mill that has been extensively and imaginatively renovated using traditional materials, including stone, granite, and wood, but still retains an abundance of original character throughout.

On the mezzanine floor there is a principal bedroom with en-suite shower room, while the top floor features a stunning sitting room with exposed A-frames and floorboards, and a wood-burning stove.
Outside, there is a large workshop/garage/studio, ideal for additional ancillary space or for storing tools, equipment, a car, or a boat.

The gardens, extending to approximately one acre, provide a wonderful setting to enjoy the peace and tranquillity of the area. They are rich in flora, with mature ferns, palm trees, and large Gunnera plants creating a truly individual landscape. There are tiered lawned areas ideal for entertaining and games, ample parking, and an old cowshed providing further storage potential.

The property is approached along a driveway that gently winds up to the house and the large parking area.
