Main Description
Shhhh!! Can you keep a secret? Located within a quiet backwater
close to the centre of the village, one finds the Grade II listed
?The Wheelhouse? on Corn Mill Lane, the quintessential,
four-bedroom mill conversion. Steeped in local history, the
property was built in the mid-19th century, although properties
have stood on this location since 1650. Firstly, the property was
purchased as a ground-up restoration project by the present owners,
taking four years of blood, sweat and tears but mainly love to
create this true gem of a home, the like of which rarely comes to
market and can only be regarded as a unique opportunity. The
present owners (who, by their own admission, are obsessive about
quality and fanatical about attention to detail), have created this
jaw-dropping property, which cannot fail to impress from the moment
you walk through the door. This stunning home, which is an eclectic
mix of many stunning, original features with a stylish,
nouveau-classic feel, will blow you away with many retro-chic,
original, industrial features from the mill including an
impressive, renovated piece of machinery, located behind a glass
screen.
This location is truly idyllic, situated in a beautiful, secluded
position, the property benefits from a delightful garden flanked by
the original millrace. Water from the millpond chatters over the
cobbled millrace and to the wheelhouse where it would have
originally driven the great millstones.
Materials used in the conversion from Industrial Mill to ?Home?
were carefully chosen to maintain the respect to its heritage ?
bespoke, stone steps, solid oak doors with hand forged handles,
other locally crafted ironwork ?gates, balustrades, handrails and
balcony from the very talented Tom Heys from Flaxton Forge near
York, an Artist Blacksmith who worked very closely on the
project.
Only an early viewing can help one truly appreciate the attention
to detail that has gone into this wonderful conversion, so if you
are looking for that special home, please call to arrange a viewing
to avoid disappointment.
