Eardington — Eardington

Eardington Mill is located at the end of a private lane in an attractive and secluded spot surrounded by sound of birdsong and nature. Electrically operated gates open into a large paved drive with parking for multiple vehicles. The Mill which is set within approximately six acres of woodland is a haven for nature, with the Mor Brook running along the bottom of the garden. The property has been fabulously and extensively renovated by the current owners, in contemporary style, but still retains its unique and historical characteristics. The house has four floors, all of which have beautiful views. Many of the windows have been recently replaced and are double glazed. A new porch with built in storage creates a welcoming and homely entrance to the property. This leads into the gorgeously proportioned open plan kitchen, dining and living room, which is the heart of the home and main hub of the house. The exposed beams and vaulted ceiling creates a sense of space. The room is light and airy with large windows and two sets of double doors opening onto a balcony overlooking the stunning courtyard. In the winter a large open fireplace with Welsh slate hearth and mantlepiece and underfloor heating make the space deceptively cosy. The kitchen is at one end of the room and contains ample wall and base units. There is a Sub-Zero Fridge/Freezer and WOLF range cooker both available by separate negotiation, and the space accommodates the dining and living area. Also on this level are two spacious double bedrooms with newly fitted windows both with views into the courtyard and Brook. Serving the bedrooms on this level is a newly refurbished bathroom with rainfall shower. Having all of these amenities on this one level with direct access from outside makes the house perfect for someone with limited mobility. Up a staircase to the top level is the principal bedroom, which has built in storage wardrobes and cupboards. A large en-suite bathroom with rain shower complements the main bedroom. The current owners have installed a new balcony to take advantage of the spectacular views of the courtyard and countryside. This is the perfect spot for a morning coffee or sundowner cocktail. A staircase from the main level leads down the middle floor and into a lovely room currently used as a library but could be used as a snug, home office or general reception room. Wall to ceiling bookcases run the length of two walls and a large feature fish tank is situated under the stairs. A utility room/laundry with sizeable built in airing/storage cupboards is next to a separate boiler room. Double doors lead from the library into the remainder of the house. These doors can be locked to segregate the house and this has been specifically designed to facilitate multi-generational living, independent living or space for a teenager. A large landing has access to a third bathroom this one having a large walk in shower and separate bath. A double bedroom with high quality ‘Saville Row’ built in wardrobes, and a new window overlooking the garden and brook beyond. A further set of stairs lead down to a second kitchen, with induction hob, sink, and storage units. A mezzanine floor has been installed to create a significant loft space. Double arched doors provide access to the first of two linked courtyards. This stunning contained space was the original mill dating back to 1790 and provides an atmospheric space ideal for alfresco dining and parties in the courtyard. A separate woodstore/tool room with access to the back of the property is located off a small lobby. One of the highlights of the house is the light, spacious garden room, which is currently used as a ‘man cave’ but could be used for formal dining or another reception room/lounge. Bespoke high quality fitted oak units with built in lighting run the length of the room and are ideal for display, the TV, storage etc. There is also a new log burning fire, and two sets of double doors opening into the courty
