6 bed detached house for sale

Yockleton, Shrewsbury, Shropshire SY5

Set on the edge of the village and adjoining farmland with exceptional views of the surrounding countryside. The Mill is a unique property that combines a wonderful location with delightful grounds, 14 acres of land, garaging for four cars and superb secondary accommodation by way of the apartment above the garage.

An impressive Grade II listed former watermill built in 1817 that has been tastefully extended and renovated, incorporating many of the original mill features, including the mill shaft and the 4 original mill stones. The staircases, doors and floorboards are all handmade from reclaimed oak. The accommodation extends to over 4000 sq. Ft with very flexible accommodation that provides versatile living spaces.

The kitchen breakfast room is handmade by David Orton with granite worktops, fitted Belfast sink and a RangeMaster cooker. The drawing room is an exceptionally proportioned room with a gas log burner stove. Large windows allow plenty of natural light and doors open onto the rear terrace under a covered veranda. Open, original timber framing sets the study from the hallway and the dining room, with the mill workings, is off the kitchen. A utility/boot room with WC is located at the rear of the house with a door out into the garden.

There are two staircases within the house. The main staircase rises to a large, light landing with four bedrooms, one with ensuite and dressing room, one with ensuite and two further double bedrooms sharing a house bathroom. The second staircase (which also rises from the ground floor) continues to two further bedrooms and a further shower room.

Garage and The Grain Store (Annex)
Set at the end of a long driveway that drops down to an extensive gravelled parking and turning area, is a large outbuilding that provides garaging for four cars and excellent storage. There are four garage doors which are all remotely operated.

Above the garaging, and accessed via an external staircase, is a superb open plan studio that is fitted out with a kitchen and has a separate shower room. This is currently used as secondary accommodation and has been used in the past as a short-term let on an AST so is capable of being a good source of income. From its balcony there are incredible views. There is a lean-to garden store that runs along the rear of the garage with doors making it accessible from either end. There is also a secure storeroom under the balcony.

Gardens and Grounds
The gardens are laid to lawn with mature trees and beds, as well as an area laid to wild meadow. In the garden is a beautiful, cedar summer house. It measures 3.9m x 3.1m and has electric power, internet and a TV aerial. A stream runs through the gardens and fields which is a tributary to the Rea Brook and is a spawning ground for brown trout. There are 3 bridges across the stream - one is a particular feature purchased by the present owners. Within the gardens is a greenhouse which was built by Gabriel Ash and is from their rhs Grand Portico Range.

The adjoining land extends to approximately 12.5 acres. It is divided into meadows and some former farm buildings that have the potential for adaption to equestrian use. Currently they are used by the owners for storage and for lambing.

Services
Mains water, mains electric and mains gas. Private drainage to septic tank.
