Description

Last available in 1999 this is a rare opportunity not to be missed. Mill House is a beautiful detached secluded property, Although not listed, it boasts many fine period features including exposed timber stud work, beams, and a lovely feature fireplace. More recently the current owners have refurbished, remodelled and extended it to offer generous accommodation now approaching almost 4000sq ft. Accommodation briefly comprises: Fitted kitchen with integrated Aga, dining room, a split level living room, a snug, a further living room, a study/home office plus downstairs cloakroom and utility room. On the first floor there are seven good sized bedrooms, two with ensuite facilities and a family bathroom. Outside the gardens and grounds extend to approximately 2.25 acres, offering exceptional views across the Pant valley and rolling countryside to all aspects. A long entrance driveway leads to parking for several vehicles, a detached double garage with mower store behind. There is a third garage at the entrance. Mill House is approximately 15 to 20 minutes from Elsenham mainline railway station which offers a fast and regular service to London's Liverpool Street and Cambridge. Great Bardfield is within easy walking distance with shops, pubs and school. Thaxted is a small market town about three miles away, and Saffron Walden is located within a short drive which offers a range of schooling and shopping for everyday needs.
