A converted windmill and millers house, in an elevated location with stunning 360-degree views, extensive garaging and beautiful gardens, at the end of a no through lane surrounded by farmland.
The Grade II listed Mill and adjoining converted barn and dwelling date in part from around the mid-19th century, with views over four counties. The Mill, with its four sails, is a real landmark elevated above the east Warwickshire countryside. The skilful adaptation of the mill building and cottage has created a very fine family house, which incorporates architectural features within the Mill and period property, with tiled, flagstone and timber floors, solid traditional boarded doors, exposed timberwork and exposed stone, Bread oven and mill workings. This combined with all the requirements for modern-day living.A recessed enclosed porch gives access to the reception hall, with a cloakroom and boiler closet and main timber staircase to the first floor. The drawing room created in the 1980s from a barn linking the Mill to the original millers' cottage has created a stunning vaulted principal reception room, with parquet floor, stone fireplace with wood burning stove and sliding patio doors to the garden. The dining room and sitting room have wide south-facing windows to benefit from the views and also have French doors to outside. The large family room also has a fireplace with woodburner, flagstone floor and French doors and access to the secondary staircase and back hall.The kitchen/breakfast room has painted-fitted kitchen cupboards with granite tops, an island unit with timber top and range cooker and appliances and a fine bread oven associated with the Mill.To the first floor, off the landing are the bedrooms.
