Seller Insight
The Water Mill is a charming, full of character property, one of four buildings that forms part of the old mill complex. Twenty five years ago the present owners, Alan and Maureen were looking for a new home and wanting something special, were intrigued to read the details of the converted building. They explain, "When we viewed the house we were immediately captivated, and when some ducks arrived for a feed, were totally smitten. We had found our dream home, and the time here has felt like one long holiday".
"The present building dates from the seventeenth century but there has been a mill on the site since the thirteenth century. We have regarded it as a privilege to maintain the building both internally and externally, always respecting its history and place in village life".
"We love each area in the house where the stone walls keep the house cool in summer and then a cosy winter refuge. We enjoy offering hospitality and, a particular favourite is the dining room, where we can comfortably seat ten people. We currently have a further dining area on the first floor, which friends say feels like a special private dining room".
"The first floor lounge has floor to ceiling windows with pretty views across Mill Lane and is perfect for family relaxation. The Mill Lucam (the projection at the top of the mill) provides views across the rooftops and trees and has a definite wow factor. It is the perfect room to read or simply enjoy some down time".
"We access the private garden through both a side gate and the garage. It is a large, green, tree laden and tranquil haven, where the River Granta, chalk stream, gently ripples through. There is nothing better than to sit on the riverside patio with sightings of kingfishers, egrets, herons, ducks and traditional garden birds. It is a very special place".
"We have loved the peaceful rural location where we can sit with a drink listening to the Linton Zoo lions calling, and the ducks coming for their evening food. We take away so many happy memories".
