5 bed detached house for sale

Bakers Road, Wroughton, Swindon, Wiltshire SN4

Woodham Mill is a characterful property providing extensive accommodation together with an annexe, set in approximately 1.2 acres of grounds.

Woodham Mill is a striking red-brick and stone former mill dating from 1771, later converted to steam power in 1842 and subsequently adapted to residential use. The impressive chimney retains a working fireplace at its base and the original date stone near the top. A particular feature of the property are the 1.2 acres (approx.) of beautiful grounds with the millstream meandering through.

The accommodation is tastefully presented across four floors, including a spacious, light-filled open-plan kitchen/sitting room on the first floor with direct access to the gardens at the rear via two glass porches opening onto the terrace, providing wonderful entertaining space. The original watermill wheel and workings can be viewed from the kitchen.

On the ground floor, the entrance hall features the original grinding stones set into the wall. Beyond are a useful study overlooking the courtyard, a generously-sized bedroom featuring the former water mill spindle, an additional bedroom and a family bathroom. The second floor provides an impressive principal bedroom suite with vaulted ceiling, exposed beams, dressing area and bathroom. A further bedroom with adjoining bathroom is accessed via stairs from the landing.

Attached to the main house yet with its own entrance is an impressive one bedroom annexe with a games room on the ground floor.

The gardens are mainly laid to lawn with well-established mature trees and the mill stream running through, creating an idyllic, peaceful setting. A gravel courtyard provides ample parking to the front of the house, complemented by a double garage.

Woodham Mill is situated in a peaceful location in the old quarter of Wroughton, a large village in northeast Wiltshire between Swindon and Avebury on the edge of the Marlborough Downs, an Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty.
