House For Sale £1,195,000
Smalls Mill has been fully renovated to create a fabulous family home while retaining the charm and character of its form life. The main focus of the house is stunning views over the garden, with an abundance of natural light in all rooms. The original part of the house dates back to the 1820s when the house was used as a mill workers cottage. The property has subsequently been extended and renovated to create the stunning four bedroom family home it is today. The current owners have done much of the work to open up the ground floor to create modern open-plan living accommodation. The latter addition of a formal living room, entrance hall, and utility room takes this home into a different league from that of a former historic cottage. Upstairs are three generous bedrooms, a principal bedroom suite and dressing room, and a family bathroom. The fourth bedroom is on the ground floor with an en suite shower room, further offering versatility in the accommodation.
