About this property

DESCRIPTION Mill Cottage comes to the market for the first time in 33 years and represents a wonderful opportunity for a wide variety of buyers keen to establish themselves a period property with great potential whilst enjoying an incredibly idyllic setting with views over the collection of streams linking in with the river Tas.

The house dates to 1853 being constructed of traditional brick under a pitched main roof together with a seperate detached garage and shingled hardstanding for a number of vehicles. Mill Cottage was originally built as two cottages until sometime after 1940 where a singular residence was created. The accommodation is spacious and well-arranged across two floors being approached at the side into the main reception hall. The focal point to the property is the open plan beamed sitting/dining room which enjoys a log burner and fine views out over the gardens. The kitchen is positioned off the sitting room and enjoys a range of wall and base units. There is a further cloakroom under the stairs.

There are three spacious bedrooms, WC and the family bathroom positioned off the main landing area which stretches across the rear façade of Mill Cottage. The bedrooms are all an adequate size and enjoy views out over the formal gardens and the stunning stream which links in with the Tas Valley and Taswood Lakes.

Much of the charm of Mill Cottage remains in the gardens which have been lovingly tended by the current owners and act as a major feature of the house and enjoy lovely views over the water which flows away forming part of the river Tas.

The property is approached via a private track which leads off the road between Station Road and Low Road. The driveway to the house features parking for several vehicles and leads up to the double garage, behind the garage lies a large area of garden which flows beautifully alongside the stream and up to the boundary line. The main gardens circulate around the cottage and enjoy many points of interest being mainly laid to lawn with a pond and a variety of specimen trees. There is an area of woodland is included within the sale which leads up to the minor road.

It is fair to say the house is now ready to be taken on to the next stage and any buyer will see this as an opportunity to live in a very special pocket of Norfolk with great potential.
