Description

A truly delightful Grade II Listed former mill cottage built in the early 18th century, constructed of local honey coloured stone elevations with mullion windows under a Cotswold stone roof. The property has been in the same family's ownership for over 100 years. The accommodation is full of character and period features and set over three floors. They include the large open inglenook fireplace, exposed
beams, and casement windows with window seats. The original mill leat runs under the house and to the side of the garden. The property needs substantial refurbishment but has huge potential to further extend the size of the property, subject to the necessary consents. The cottage opens onto a large level south facing lawn garden that leads to an idyllic riverside setting with a wide
selection of mature trees. This is a wildlife haven and has the benefit of fishing rights, the Bybrook being known for its trout. A gated driveway leads to a parking area and to a large, detached garage and store room. Across the river is a large paddock of around 1 acre with a wooden single storey building available by separate
negotiation.

This is a remarkable setting, perched on the edge of the Bybrook River. It has two neighbouring properties, the original mill and the mill house, whilst still retaining privacy as they all face away from one another. It is a beautiful and undulating river valley in the south Cotswolds. The valley is
well regarded for walking and riding and is teaming with wildlife. It has a very quiet and rural feel yet only 2 miles from Corsham, a pretty market town having all your day-today
shopping facilities, good pubs and restaurants, whilst being set between the city of Bath and the large town of Chippenham, both having mainline rail access to London Paddington. Bath offers excellent schooling, shopping, leisure, and sporting facilities, as well as being famed for its
Georgian architecture.
