House For Sale £1,485,000
A very stylish conversion of a detached, three storey, former mill enjoying lovely views and 3 pretty detached cottages, all set within approximately 2 acres of delightful southerly facing grounds. Located on the slopes of the picturesque Luxulyan Valley, just inland from the South Cornwall coast of St Austell Bay, The Mill is a beautifully designed conversion and its three excellent cottages are all currently let out to long term tenants but they would also be equally well suited to the lucrative holiday letting market.
The principal residence is a highly specified and beautifully appointed conversion of a former mill, offering well designed and spacious 4 bedroom and 4 bathroom accommodation across its three storeys. The conversion has been stylishly finished with clean lines and contemporary design touches that are beautifully contrasting to the appealing traditional features of the original building, which include timber ceiling beams, magnificent a-frame roof trusses and exposed timber floors. The ground floor has the benefit of underfloor heating and a 32 panel pv (photovoltaic) system, which is located on the roof of the car port and home office, provides a considerable amount of the electricity that is required to run the house, generating circa £3000 a year from a feed in tariff, with 16 years remaining as of 2020.
Set within a tucked away spot in the corner of the grounds is a cosy timber cabin, previously used as a popular AirBnB holiday let. There is a further large modern detached timber building that is our clients home office and adjoining this is a carport. Nearer to the house is a good-sized timber garage with inspection pit and immediately adjacent is a single storey stone built outbuilding that is used as a laundry, log store and gardeners WC. Within the paddock are timber stables and a further field shelter.
