Description
Guide Price £1,500,000 - £1,600,000. A Grade II listed house on its own private island in the River Rib, in the heart of Standon village. Dating from circa 1800, Old Mill House sits within just under three acres of gardens, woodland and meadow with extensive river frontage and exclusive fishing rights. Few properties within easy reach of London come close.
The house retains a depth of original character: period fireplaces, decorative tiled flooring, sash windows and a walk-in safe in the study, believed to have belonged to the owner of the former mill. The current owners have replaced the kitchen with a new handmade installation and refitted the principal en-suite, without disturbing any of it.
Two generous reception rooms sit alongside a formal dining room and the study. A kitchen and breakfast room with pantry, utility and an extensive cellar complete the ground floor. Five bedrooms and a sixth on the first floor, the latter a generous double in its own right. The principal bedroom has its own en-suite and a private balcony overlooking the river.
Outside, a terrace with pergola and hot tub leads to riverside seating areas and established gardens. Two footbridges connect the island to private woodland walks and an expansive meadow beyond.
Standon village, the A120, Bishop's Stortford, Stansted Airport and mainline connections to London all within easy reach.
River. Meadow. History. Nothing else like it.
