Description

A former Mill House that has been partially refurbished and provides a unique opportunity to create a stunning four/five bedroom home set in eight acres of paddocks and woodland.

Introduction

Dating back to approximately 1890, the Mill House is constructed of local stone and retains its original character throughout. Modern enhancements include floor-to-ceiling windows on the north side of the property, flooding the interior with light, and new windows and doors throughout. Further, two-story extensions have been added, complementing the home's history.

The Mill

This substantial three-story former mill presents a rare opportunity to acquire a special property. On the ground floor, there is a formal reception room with original fireplace and wood burner, a dining room, and an expansive kitchen/dining/family room, offering significant potential for bespoke customization. The first floor accommodates three double bedrooms with vaulted ceilings, a master suite with en-suite facilities and panoramic countryside views, and a family bathroom, prepared for a four-piece suite installation. The second-floor mezzanine level features a grand reception room with exposed timber beams and access to a private viewing deck, which offers far reaching views down the valley.

The property is set in grounds extending to 8.71 acres and there is further stone outbuilding that has potential for a range of uses including as ancillary living accommodation.
