Description
Detailed Description
A truly unique lifestyle and business opportunity, Britannia Mill is an exceptional converted mill complex set within approximately 1.5 acres in the sought-after village of Kexby. Combining extensive and versatile living accommodation with a substantial commercial building extending to approximately 9,125 sq ft, this remarkable property offers the perfect blend of rural living, business potential and future development opportunities.
The impressive residence provides over 3,800 sq ft of characterful accommodation, centred around a superb double-height living room with exposed beams, an inglenook fireplace and wood-burning stove. The bespoke kitchen is fitted with granite worktops, a central island, Neff integrated appliances and a gas AGA, creating an outstanding heart of the home. The flexible layout includes six bedrooms, a dedicated study, conservatory, multiple reception areas and a principal suite with dressing room and en-suite bathroom.
Outside, the grounds have been thoughtfully arranged to maximise enjoyment of the rural setting, with extensive gardens, patios, a pond, barbecue area, tennis court, timber workshop, stable building and children's timber den. A further 3.34-acre grass paddock is available by separate negotiation.
The commercial building, formerly occupied by the current owner's business, offers extensive warehouse, storage and office accommodation with three-phase electricity and a large mezzanine level, creating significant potential for a variety of commercial uses subject to any necessary consents. Adding further appeal, outline planning permission was granted by West Lindsey District Council in July 2026 for the construction of three self/custom-build dormer bungalows within the site.
