Gaunts Mill is situated in the popular Cotswold village of Blockley and sits idyllically within the former mill dating back to the late 17th century with beautiful views over the Blockley brook. The property is full of many period features, and exposed Cotswold stone walls, but allows for modern-day contemporary living. Gaunts Mill is arranged over three floors, with the front doors leading into the hallway. To the right is a ground floor bedroom with Jack and Jill access into a stylish shower room with oak parquet flooring. No doubt, the heart of the home is the stunning kitchen/dining room, which is an ideal space for entertaining. Plenty of wall and base units have solid granite worktops, and the central island incorporates a breakfast bar. Integrated appliances include three electric-fired oven AGA, a dishwasher, a fridge and a freezer. Double doors lead out to the side terrace with views over Blockley brook and the mill race. A useful utility room is found off the kitchen with a range of units, space for a washing machine and space for a wine fridge. To the first floor, the impressive sitting room forms part of a mezzanine area with high apex ceilings and wonderful views over the private gardens, made all the better by the Juliette balcony. Central to the room sits the Cotswold stone fireplace with Clearview wood-burning stove. Off the central hallway are two double bedrooms, one with an understairs wardrobe and a recently fitted bathroom with a roll-top bath and rain shower. Polished oak floors run the entire length of the first floor. Bedroom three can be found on the second floor, with plentiful storage cupboards under the eaves.
Grounds
No doubt, the stunning gardens form part of the uniqueness of Gaunts Mill. The sunny rear terrace runs the entire length of the property and offers an ideal space for al fresco dining and to enjoy the views. The raised Cotswold stone borders are well stocked with an abundance of flowers and shrubs, and a stone stairwell with lighting leads up through the lawned area to a further stone terrace ideal for enjoying the afternoon and evening setting sun. There are two separate timber cabins with power and light and a greenhouse. Beyond the private garden of Gaunts Mill is a south-facing garden and steps to the adjacent gardens. There is private parking for two vehicles.
