Description

The Mill House is a substantial Grade II listed former mill house with a double garage, a meticulously converted stable block, and barn with planning permission, set in a tucked-away position alongside the former mill complex (now converted into separate dwellings).

The property enjoys a peaceful setting in this well-connected village next to the River Granta with great access to local amenities. The Mill House can be sold as a whole, which includes the main house, the Barn with planning permission, the Stables and the Garage block for the guide price of £2,000,000 or as Plot 1: The Mill House and the Barn with planning permission for a guide price of £1,250,000.

In the main house the accommodation is arranged over two floors, extending to around 4,239 sq ft, with additional cellar space beneath part of the ground floor. Many period features remain, offering an excellent opportunity for further sympathetic modernisation to create a striking village home with character, large gardens, and direct river frontage. Inside, there are two principal reception rooms, an Aga kitchen, a further kitchen/breakfast room, a study, five bedrooms, and three bathrooms.

Planning permission has been granted to convert the attached barn into four bed ancillary accommodation. Details of the approved plans are available via the South Cambridgeshire planning portal or the vendors' sole agents. At present, the barn is linked to the house by a stairwell leading to a first-floor billiards room, complete with an oriel window overlooking the gardens. Greater Cambridge Planning Portal 22/03774/HFUL.

The majority of the gardens lie to the rear, featuring the former mill race—now a sunken lawn—which leads up to the position of the original mill wheel. Mature trees, a vegetable garden, a former ice house, a grass tennis court, and access to the Grade II listed sluice gates on the River Granta all add to the appeal of the grounds. All in all measuring 1.49 acres.

Approached via Mill Lane, the property has a paved parking area in front of the barn, with space for multiple vehicles. If sold separately the outside area will need to be assigned, further details are available from the selling agent.

A contemporary two or three bedroom stable conversion has been renovated to a high standard, whilst preserving some of the original features. The property comprises a large living/dining room with a stylish kitchen leading out to the patio area through bi-folding doors. There is a downstairs shower room and a separate study or third bedroom. Upstairs, there are two spacious bedrooms and a further bathroom. It also benefits from underfloor heating throughout and an air source heat pump.

There is also an additional garage block with a double garage and a room above equipped with a useful kitchen and bathroom.

In all, The Mill House offers a rare combination of period charm, riverside setting, and flexibility—either as a single large home with substantial gardens and outbuildings, or further developed into three properties under the existing planning consents.
