7 Bedroom Semi Detached House For Sale In Burford

There are Cotswold houses with river views, and then there are houses quite literally shaped by the water around them.

The Mill is one of the latter.

Occupying an extraordinary position astride the mill race on the eastern edge of Burford, this handsome former mill is a property of genuine character and individuality. Dating from 1790, with origins believed to extend considerably further back as the former Colliers Mill, the property is steeped in the history of this celebrated Cotswold town.

Today, The Mill has evolved into an exceptionally versatile home, combining characterful principal accommodation with three individually arranged, self-contained, award-winning holiday lets, creating the opportunity to enjoy an enviable Cotswold lifestyle alongside an established income stream.

Water is at the heart of the property. The mill race flows alongside and beneath the buildings, with balconies, terraces and gardens positioned to take full advantage of this magical setting. From the principal sitting room, doors open directly onto a balcony above the water, while elsewhere there are delightful places to sit, dine and simply watch life on the river drift by.

Perhaps most remarkable is the combination of this wonderfully private waterside setting with the convenience of being within a level walk of Burford High Street.

The property also benefits from generous private parking, a double garage and workshop/store, while the gardens provide a peaceful retreat beside the water.

The result is something increasingly difficult to find: an historic Cotswold home with space, privacy, income potential, and parking, all within walking distance of one of the most desirable market towns in the Cotswolds.
