Bideber Mill, Westhouse, LA6 3NY

Wanting to live the good life? Here we've found it for you!

Nestled in a splendid, private rural setting at the head of a country lane and surrounded by stunning open countryside, Bideber Mill has everything to offer - a house, an attached annexe, a detached holiday cottage, magnificent gardens, a workshop, garaging and land.

A former corn mill, dating back to 1475, the property is bursting with charming character features which sit alongside modern kitchens, bathrooms and appointments. The principal rooms also enjoy wonderful views of the garden, the meadow or open countryside beyond.

Set in garden and grounds of c. 0.94 acres (0.38 hectares), the well-proportioned and versatile accommodation is set over two floors with a gross internal measurement of c. 2441 sq ft (226.8 sq m).

The property has undergone a programme of renovation and refurbishment since the current owners' purchase in 2007. Sadly, it's now time to downsize but being immaculately presented and well maintained, the property is ready for the new custodians to move into and start living.

The well-appointed dining kitchen is fitted with cream shaker style base and wall units with granite and wood worktops, double pot sink and a Britannia stove set in a tiled recess.

Off the kitchen is a practical utility/laundry room with base units and space for an under counter washing machine and tumble drier.

The inner hall also has a second sitting room with beamed ceiling, electric stove and a two piece cloakroom. The dining room with understairs storage cupboard leads into a fitted kitchen with base and wall units and a flagged floor.

The staircase leads from the main sitting room to a split landing. There are three double bedrooms; bedroom 1 has an en suite shower room with bedroom 2 having a built-in wardrobe. The three piece house bathroom has a roll top bath. A separate staircase leads to bedroom 4, being open to the apex and with an en suite shower room.

Sunset View

Currently run as a successful holiday let, there is an open plan living dining kitchen with electric fire, oak floor, double open glazed doors out to the garden and a double bedroom with en suite shower room. The attached garage has a utility area and electric up and over door. Being single storey, this too could lend itself as ancillary accommodation for a dependent relative.

Workshop

Previously used by the current owners as business premises, this is a versatile space with a reception area, store room, dual aspect office and large workshop with double open timber doors.

Attached is an L-shaped garage with base and wall units, up and electric over doors, power and light.

Gardens and grounds

The drive leads to extensive parking provision with a designated parking area for Sunset View.

Whether you like to dig, potter or just enjoy beautifully tended and established gardens surround the property with manicured lawns, terraced landscaping, a choice of seating terraces, flagged paths, well-stocked beds, mature trees, an orchard, wooden gazebo for al-fresco entertaining and a children's play area. A delightful feature is the stream with stone bridges which trickles through part of the garden.

Sunset View has its own private garden to the rear with lawn, seating terrace, raised vegetable beds and greenhouse and a gravel terrace with low stone wall and inset planting to the front, from which to enjoy the lovely view.

To the west of the property, stands 2.45 acres (0.99 hectares) of meadowland. Further land to the west may available by separate negotiation.
