This beautifully presented former steam mill C.1850 previously known as Navestock Prince’s Gate Mill features the original wrought-iron weathervane, being Grade II Listed with original timbers and gabled wing at the eastern end providing outbuildings/workshop and garaging. Offering in excess of 4,300 sq ft of accommodation, the main part of the barn features 3-4 reception rooms and four double bedrooms. Access from the courtyard, the tiled central entrance hall gives access to the main 20ft. Dual aspect reception/family room leading into the large country-style kitchen/breakfast room with Amtico flooring and built-in appliances and original cast iron columns. An adjacent spacious utility/boot room offers an external door. The hallway leads to the lounge, a large snug/playroom and steps up to a study, opposite which is a ground floor shower room/cloakroom (the study could double as a ground floor bedroom) – beyond this is a further spacious dual-aspect reception room with vaulted beamed ceiling, underfloor heating and french doors onto the garden. This part of the Barn lends itself for a multitude of ‘work from home’ uses as it connects through to the workshop/storage area. To the first floor are four double bedrooms – the principal bedroom with vaulted ceiling has built-in wardrobes and a large en-suite bathroom with freestanding bath, shower, bidet and electric underfloor heating. Adjacent to bedrooms 2,3 and 4 is an additional family bathroom. There is a second floor level offering a spacious attic with views over open countryside. This floor has further potential for other uses such as conversion into a studio or additional useable rooms (subject to planning consent). The property is heated by main gas.
The adjoining single-storey part of the Barn with weatherboarded elevations under a pantiled roof features the extensive workshop/storage area featuring several doors and windows – this has a vaulted ceiling and was re-built approx. 12 years ago, providing potential for ‘work from home’ usage (subject to the usual consents), with further garaging for vehicles and storage space of approx. 2,374 sq ft in total. This single-storey section extends at a right angle providing access into the independent double garage accessed from Wheelers Lane. This affords the capability to walk from the garage directly into the house in inclement weather. There is private gated access from Wheelers Lane with ample off-road parking and access into the south/west facing garden which is landscaped with paved area and lawn provide privacy for outside dining. The adjacent Farm features traditional farm buildings and is a family-run farm which produces and sells local honey.

There are renowned schools in the area and access to open countryside and parkland. EPC E.<br /><br />
