Riverside living with an option of your own private island. - The Mill House is an amazing conversion of the former mill house adjacent to Wakes Colne Mill, with river frontage, located down a private drive in the picturesque village of Wakes Colne. It sits adjacent to the River Colne and affords some incredible views over the river and nearby countryside.
This charming former mill house, believed to date back to the early-to-mid 1800s, has recently undergone a thoughtful refurbishment, transforming it into a stylish and well-proportioned residence perfectly situated along the picturesque banks of the River Colne.
Spread across three levels, the accommodation comprises spacious rooms designed for both formal entertaining and relaxed living. The ground floor boasts two elegant reception rooms, each with distinctive features such as a bay window, open fire and woodburner, and polished wooden floors. The dining room, with its exposed timbers and restored red-brick fireplace, offers a cosy atmosphere and door onto the south facing riverside patio, while the kitchen and breakfast room have been combined to create a bright and airy space perfect for gatherings, featuring double doors opening onto the riverside patio and a stylish electric range cooker.
Upstairs, five double bedrooms provide ample space, including a luxurious master suite complete with a walk-through dressing room and a newly-fitted bathroom. The rooms on the top floor offer flexibility for various uses, such as a home office or living quarters.
Outside, the property boasts ample parking space and planning consent for a double garage. The front lawn and newly planted laurel hedge offer privacy, while the south-facing patio provides a sunny spot for enjoying the river views and observing local wildlife. It is worth noting that whereas the neighbouring property abuts the South-facing outside area this is solely for the use of the mill.
Situated at the end of a private drive on the outskirts of Chappel and Wakes Colne, the property enjoys a peaceful yet convenient location, surrounded by a few other period homes and contemporary residences, offering a blend of historic charm and modern living.
