DESCRIPTION
This sizeable property is in need of complete refurbishment and is suitable for experienced developers/builders who understand the complexities and costs that will be encountered when undertaking repair and improvement to a Grade II listed building. Prospective purchasers should be aware that extensive remedial work is required including; refurbishment of roof and windows, rewire, and installation of gas central heating. Set in private grounds extending to approximately 2.5 acres, it is believed that this beautiful late Georgian property was originally constructed in 1820 for the owner of Arrowscroft Mill, providing an imposing residence as well as a secluded retreat for him and his family. No expense was spared in creating this impressive property and many of the stunning original period features remain including beautiful ceiling friezes and cornices, original sash windows with wooden shutters and fireplaces. In need of some renovation, this exceptional property has the potential to create an outstanding and unique home, or indeed may be suitable for conversion into a number of apartments or for commercial uses (subject to obtaining the necessary planning consents). In brief the property currently comprises; impressive portico porch, entrance hall, further reception hall, dining room, sitting room, drawing room

(currently used as a bedroom with en suite bathroom), dining kitchen, larder, rear porch, utility, extensive range of cellars, six double bedrooms and further bathroom. As previously mentioned, the property is set within extensive grounds extending to approximately 2.5 acres including lawn areas, mature trees and shrubs, orchard and pond. There is a recently constructed summerhouse, large detached garage and ample parking and turning areas.
