The Property
Stemborough Mill is a Grade II Listed building located at the end of the quiet Stemborough Lane. The mill, now converted into a private residence, was originally built in the early 19th Century and was extensively restored in 1965 when it was converted to residential use. The property is constructed of painted brickwork under a Welsh slate roof. Much of the original milling machinery remains intact and can be viewed, in part from inside the property itself and offers a glimpse into the industrial heritage of the area.

Upon entering the property, a welcoming reception hall with access to a boot room has a set of stairs rising to the principal living accommodation. The first floor sitting room, known as ‘The Granary’, is a particularly impressive space, featuring a vaulted ceiling and open fireplace which forms the central focal point. A galleried landing enhances the sense of volume and architectural interest, creating an impressive setting for both entertaining and everyday living.

Adjoining the main living areas, the conservatory is currently used as a formal dining room and enjoys an abundance of natural light with views over the surrounding gardens. The significant kitchen is fitted with a bespoke range of pine cabinetry, complemented by polished granite work surfaces. A traditional two-oven AGA is accompanied by a ‘companion’ gas hob and electric oven. Exposed timber flooring adds warmth and charm, whilst French doors open directly onto a sunny terrace. From the kitchen, a door leads through to an additional reception room, previously used as an entertaining space and offering a versatility for a variety of uses.

The accommodation includes four generously proportioned double bedrooms, two of which are thoughtfully positioned to take advantage of exceptional views across the river and lakes. The principal bedroom benefits from an ensuite bathroom. Furthermore, to the property is a family bathroom and a useful office/ storeroom.

'The Cottage'

Adjoining the Mill is a cottage comprising an entrance lobby, a cloakroom, an open-plan kitchen/living/ dining room, two bedrooms and a bathroom.

Outside
Stemborough Mill is nestled within approximately 10 acres of beautifully landscaped gardens and grounds, idyllically situated beside the River Soar. This unique property is accessed via a private driveway off the village lane, leading to ample off-road parking and two garages.

The mature gardens wrap around the periphery of the mill, following the meanders of the river and offering various tranquil spots to enjoy the breathtaking views. A separate gated yard nearby includes a barn, workshop, and outbuilding, all presenting potential for a variety of uses, subject to the necessary planning consents.

Three well-maintained paddocks adjoin two picturesque lakes, which were formerly used for Carp fishing, adding further scope for recreational or agricultural use.

This is a rare opportunity to acquire a rural retreat with significant scope for both lifestyle and practical purposes, all in a stunning riverside setting.
