The historic Dorset coastal town of Lyme Regis is a short 15 mile drive away from the property. Description The Old Mill is a beautifully converted former water mill, which we believe dates back to the late 1800's. It was originally converted by the Somerset Restoration Trust and retains many period features, including the former internal and external workings of the mill and exposed Moolham stone walls, beams and flagstone floors. The property is being sold with no onward chain. Accommodation The accommodation is arranged over two floors and benefits from a substantial lean to extension, enhancing the ground floor space. The front door opens into a family room, which has dual aspect windows and doors leading out onto the rear courtyard, with exposed walls, timber beams and ceiling downlights. There is access from here through to the kitchen, which is of a farmhouse style, with a range of painted wall and base units, integrated appliances, windows overlooking the rear garden, exposed stone walls and access through to the utility room, which has a sink, cabinets and space for a washing machine and tumble dryer. There is a downstairs shower room with a WC, wash hand basin and enclosed shower cubicle, and a further room, currently used by the present owners as a study/office, but could be used as a fifth bedroom, with a fully glazed door to the front. The living room is an impressive space, with exposed stone walls, solid oak floor, exposed ceiling and floor timbers, a large stone inglenook fireplace with heavy beam over and inset wood burning stove, door leading out onto the rear patio and steps leading up to a large dining room. The dining room is an excellent entertaining space and has a wealth of original features, including the internal workings of the mill with the original cogs and belts, exposed ham stone walls, flagstone flooring throughout and large exposed ceiling and door beams. From the dining room there are large glazed doors opening out into the front garden and a turning staircase leading to the first floor. On the first floor the master bedroom has a front aspect double barn window with views over surrounding farmland, and a solid oak door to the en-suite shower room with a shower, WC and wash hand basin. There are three further bedrooms, all of which are of a good size and enjoy wonderful views. Bedroom four has an interconnecting door leading into bedroom one, giving the option for the room to be used as a dressing room or nursery if required. There is also a bathroom with a fitted modern suite and shower. Outside To the front of the property there is a large gravelled turning circle, which belongs to the property and a parking area enclosed by low stone walling with a Mediterranean patio area, with olive tree and lavender borders to one side. A small gate leads to the side of the property revealing the large water wheel previously used to power the mill. To the western side of the property there is a stone built workshop with electricity and access via a five bar gate to the rear of the property. The south side of the property benefits from a full length enclosed decorative patio area, enclosed by wooden fencing and on the eastern edge of the boundary there is a run to the sluice from the mill, with a small stream and stone cobbled arch bridge, a range of mature trees and frontage of the River Isle in the south west facing lawned garden. There is a wooden bridge that leads over the river to the paddock, as well as a shallow ford, providing vehicular access. The paddock extends to approximately 5 acres with a small apple orchard, a number of mature trees, traditional hedging and a fencing border. Services Mains water and electricity, sewage treatment plant and oil fired central heating.
