"Old Mill Farm offers a blend of heritage and mid century architecture with versatile accommodation arranged across a single storey. Reception areas feature exposed timbers and overlook the mill pond, where a wide range of wild birds and waterfowl come and go, making it a dream for bird spotters, with glorious views of the natural harbour beyond. The sitting room is centred around a feature fireplace and the adjoining dining room with French doors giving access to a raised terrace. With two defined areas, the kitchen has a mix of cabinetry with timber fronted units in one section and white cupboards in the other, with a vintage gas Aga stove and wonderful views of the garden. An external door provides a connection to the front garden and an alternative access point. The property has three bedrooms, two in the westerly aspect enjoying the views, these are adjacent to a spacious family shower room. The third bedroom is tucked away in the easterly aspect, with the inner hall also giving access to a second shower room.

A timber five bar gate opens onto a length of gravelled driveway which leads to the property and garage in this unique setting.

Surrounding the house, there is a beautifully planted walled rose garden and expansive perennial beds offering plenty of places to sit and enjoy the gardens. To the rear of the house the terrace offers the perfect spot to take in the splendid views and has steps leading down to the pond. Reed beds and grasses adorn the edge of the mill pond and a pretty timber bridge provides a route from one bank to the opposite side of the water. There are swathes of lawn, wooded areas and mature shrubs in this outdoor sanctuary which connects with nature and provides a tranquil environment.

The sizeable garage ridge height 6.4m might offer scope for conversion to create additional accommodation, subject to the necessary planning consents. An attractive well with a pump provides an independent water supply for the garden.
