Utilizing the very best of materials and interior design this beautiful and imaginatively restored property offers a superb family home in a most attractive and convenient location.

A fully glazed entrance lobby bridging the former mill race, now looks down on the indoor and outdoor swimming pools. The light and spacious dining room which is the former turbine hall offers plenty of scope/space for entertaining with some of the original mill machinery restored and on view behind glass panels. Full height windows draw the eye to attractive views over the outdoor pool and gardens beyond.

On the same level and ideally arranged for entertaining is a bright and spacious drawing room with an open fireplace with bespoke bronze surround providing a focal point whilst large solid brass windows with bronze patina and French doors open to the garden terrace.
