Dutlas, Llanfair Waterdine, Shropshire

A former mill offering a wealth of historic and architectural features; exposed rustic timbers, painted stone walls, flagstone flooring and multi-level accommodation. Coed Yr Hendre Mill is a unique property comprising five buildings; the mill house, outbuilding, barn, double garage and carport, all providing incredibly versatile accommodation in an idyllic setting.

The mill house has three floors. On the ground floor, the rooms comprise a drawing room with double doors to a raised timber terrace and a kitchen/breakfast room with Aga stove within a chimney recess. There is also a shower room.

Two separate stairways rise to the first floor, which offers a sitting room (or 4th bedroom) with feature fireplace, an additional kitchen and a double bedroom which has access out to a balcony. On the floor above, within the eaves of the property, there are two further double bedrooms with free-standing roll-top bath tubs. Cloakroom facilities are situated on each of the two upper levels.

In addition to the flexibility of the main property, interesting outbuildings offer opportunities and there is planning permission to create an annexe to part. Currently these provide a workshop, games room and garden room, along with extensive storage. Garaging and a large car port are also provided within the grounds.

A five-bar gate gives access to a circular driveway which follows a central lawned area and provides access to the outbuildings and parking. A small stream runs in front of the main house - a historic feature from when this was a working mill - with pedestrian bridges to the house. Behind the carport building there is further ground which can be used as a vegetable garden. The River Teme runs to the southern boundary of the property, which is also the border of England and Wales. The paddock/field can be accessed on foot along the bank or via a separate gateway from the lane.

The property is set amidst the stunning rolling hills and valleys of the Shropshire AONB and SSSI. The villages and communities of Beguildy and Llanfair Waterdine are close by with village shop and good pubs on offer.

The eclectic market town of Knighton is nearby and has a primary school, a leisure centre, supermarkets, a petrol station and independent shops, cafes and pubs. The Offas Dyke footpath runs through Knighton and is a 177 mile National Trail footpath that closely follows the England/Wales border.

A little further is wonderful Presteigne, boasting excellent deli's, butchers, greengrocers, cafes, pubs and restaurants. In the opposite direction is the larger town of Newtown, with primary and secondary schools and all one would expect in terms of amenities.
