Description
Nestled in the heart of the countryside, is this truly enchanting Grade II listed former mill. The property has undergone a remarkable transformation, to the highest standards, resulting in the creation of a contemporary living, surrounded by a magical garden.

It is evident that the interior has been completed to an exceptionally high standard with great attention to detail throughout. The porch and oversized wooden front door lead into a lovely reception hallway with stone flagstones. Off the hallway are a sitting room and office/TV room/snug. The latter has a lovely bay window and a working open fireplace. Each exude a sense of understated luxury. Also off the hall are the WC/cloakroom and spacious under-stair cupboard. Steps lead up through a decorative Iranian, hand-made, wrought-iron double doors into the open plan kitchen/dining/living room which is a showcase of contemporary design and functional elegance.

The kitchen is a vision of sleek sophistication. Appliances include integrated Gaggenau oversized ovens (steam and over), fridge and freezer, Bora induction hobs, and there is also a Quooker hot tap. This is a culinary haven. The expansive island takes centre stage, acting as both a practical workspace and a stylish focal point. The dining area seamlessly adjoins the kitchen, and can comfortably fit a large dining table and serves as a bridge between the cooking and living zones. Off the kitchen is the utility room that again has handmade units, this time in a more traditional shaker style but with a stylish finish. Stairs lead down to the boot room and oil-fired boiler room. There is also a wood burner in the utility room.

Upstairs there are four bedrooms, of which three have ensuite bathrooms or shower rooms. There is a superb double aspect principal suite, with room enough for a sitting area within the bedroom for relaxation and reading. There is an adjoining dressing room with hand-built cupboards. This dressing room could equally be used as a fifth bedroom or office. The luxury ensuite bathroom has both a jacuzzi bath and a shower by Czech and Speake. All the bedrooms are unique and have wooden floors. There is access in the ceiling up to a loft above that is part-boarded.

Outside, double wooden gates lead in off the lane into a parking area. Across the driveway there is a detached, thatched double garage with loft space above. The magical garden and grounds surrounds the mill and are a paradise for nature lovers, featuring a south-facing expanse of lawn, a sunken garden under an Acer tree beside which is a box hedge maze. There are meandering pathways through more natural woodland areas, a charming stepping stone bridge over the water, hidden nooks perfect for quiet contemplation or south facing terrace, perfect for social gatherings.

An arched bridge spans the mill race beside which is the hydroelectric turbine and waterfall. The far end of the garden and grounds has the River Lyde on one side and the mill pond on the other.
