Description

A Historic Residence with Untapped Potential! Presenting New Mill, a captivating property nestled within approximately 7.1 acres of land in the desirable village of Langwathby, offering a rare opportunity to acquire a piece of history with significant potential for development and expansion!

This character-rich residence, steeped in local lore, boasts a traceable history dating back to the 12th century, having served as a brewery and later Langwathby Mill. Now, this exceptional property awaits a discerning buyer ready to embrace its historical significance and unlock its considerable possibilities.

The main residence comprises a substantial five-bedroom dwelling, offering ample living space for a growing family or those seeking a retreat with room for guests. Accommodation includes two well-appointed bathrooms and a convenient cloakroom, ensuring functionality and comfort. Two reception rooms provide versatile spaces for entertaining, relaxing, and enjoying the picturesque surroundings.

Beyond the main residence, New Mill boasts a collection of barns and outbuildings, presenting a blank canvas for a variety of uses. These outbuildings offer considerable potential for conversion, perhaps into workshops, studios, or additional living spaces, subject to obtaining the necessary planning permissions. This flexibility allows the new owner to tailor the property to their specific needs and aspirations.

The land itself is a significant asset, extending to approximately 7.1 acres of grazing land. This expansive acreage is ideally suited for equestrian enthusiasts or smallholders, offering ample space for horses, livestock, and agricultural pursuits. A particularly appealing feature is the beautiful beck that meanders through the property, adding to the idyllic ambiance and providing a tranquil focal point. Crucially, the land benefits from the absence of public footpaths, ensuring privacy and seclusion for its residents. Adding to the dramatic backdrop is the viaduct, creating a unique and visually striking element to the landscape.

The property's advantageous location and unique features further suggest potential for holiday let opportunities, subject to the relevant planning consents. This presents a compelling avenue for generating income and sharing the beauty of this historic property with others. While the property benefits from mains water supply and a recently installed (less than a year old) oil boiler, potential buyers should be aware of the presence of a septic tank, which may require upgrading to comply with current regulations. Due diligence is advised in this regard.

New Mill enjoys a prime location in the sought-after village of Langwathby. The village offers a vibrant community and a range of amenities within easy reach. A local shop is conveniently located just one mile away, providing everyday essentials. Furthermore, the village boasts an excellent primary school, a traditional village pub, a well-used village hall, and even tennis courts, fostering a strong sense of community and providing opportunities for recreation.

Connectivity is also excellent, with a railway station located just 1.5 miles from the property, providing convenient access to regional and national destinations.

New Mill represents a rare opportunity to acquire a historic property with significant potential in a highly desirable location. Its expansive land, versatile outbuildings, and captivating setting make it an ideal choice for those seeking a unique and rewarding lifestyle. Early viewing is highly recommended to fully appreciate the charm and possibilities that The Old Mill has to offer.

Don't miss the chance to become the next custodian of this remarkable piece of history.
