Description

Millstone is an impressive property dating from 2001 that was formerly two detached houses that were incorporated in to a single dwelling by the current owners. Millstone provides over 5,000 sq ft of exceptional living space ideal for family living or entertaining. The principal rooms benefit from a south-westerly aspect and views over the extensive gardens and grounds.

With a high standard of presentation the accommodation flows very well with the front door opening on to a large reception hall. Off the hall is the double aspect drawing room with a log burning stove, snug with bi-fold doors to the garden. The impressive kitchen/dining/living room forms the heart of the house and is over 900 sq ft with Gaggenau appliances, twinned islands with connecting bridge, log burning stove, garden room off and bi-fold doors to the terrace. Rooms off include another sitting room, cloakroom and utility. At the opposite side of the house is a study, laundry room and gym which could offer scope for conversion to a separate annexe.

On the first floor is the main bedroom with en suite dressing room and shower room, a further five bedrooms (one with en suite shower room) and two family bathrooms.
