5 bed detached house for sale

Old Mill Lane, Wisborough Green RH14

A wonderful, Grade II listed, comprehensively refurbished iconic property, blending rich heritage with the benefits of modern and sustainable living. Located in the conservation area of Wisborough Green, this unique home offers character with the convenience of nearby amenities.

The Old Mill was built around the 1800s, although the exact date is unknown. The octagonal, sandstone-constructed base is all that remains of the original structure. It continued to operate as a working mill until 1910, when the cap and sails were damaged and subsequently removed. The remaining wooden parts were taken down around 1915, after the woodwork was deemed too dangerous. The current owner has extended and improved the building, adding many modern conveniences, including air-source pump heating, and beautifully landscaped the grounds.

This home offers plentiful, versatile accommodation arranged over three floors. The ground floor offers a welcoming hallway, substantial kitchen/family room, study, downstairs cloakroom, utility, and octagonal sitting room at the base of the original mill. The dual aspect kitchen/family room is a lovely bright space with plenty of natural light and KarndeanTM luxury vinyl with under-floor heating. The kitchen is newly fitted with a variety of units with solid-oak worktops including a central island. Appliances include two split-level ovens, induction hob with remote controlled extractor over, an American-style fridge/freezer, and an integrated dishwasher. The utility room has a washing machine, dryer and external door, making this ideal as a boot room. The sitting room is full of charm with exposed beams, walls of stone and lime.

The upper floors offer five double bedrooms, one within the original mill with sandstone walls, and a shower room and a luxury family bathroom with Jack & Jill basins, shower cubicle, panelled bath, and a speaker mirror. Bedroom two has an ensuite. The top floor, with the newly installed dome ceiling, offers panoramic views and access to the roof terrace, a lovely space, ideal for entertaining or stargazing.

The property is approached via a gated, gravelled driveway, providing parking for numerous vehicles, with raised flower beds. The landscaped, tranquil rear garden is mainly laid to lawn with an established ornamental pond, flower beds and a useful garden shed. There is a substantial patio area with an outside sink, providing the perfect space for alfresco dining and entertaining. This is an incredible opportunity to acquire a really special home, an integral part of the village’s enduring legacy.
