Mill Lane, Padworth, Reading, Berkshire, RG7

noir by david cliff - This truly stunning and completely unique, four-bedroom, detached home, has been renovated in recent years by the current owners and sits on a delightful plot, positioned at the end of a non through road next to the River Kennet, Mill Stream and miles of countryside.

Padworth Mill is full of character and charm with an abundance of exposed beams, exposed brick walls and period features, complete with a working water-wheel which sits proudly in centre of the home enclosed by double glazed panels and is visible from the ground floor rooms and with a glazed walk over panel on the first floor landing making this one of the most unique and exceptional homes that we have seen for a very long time.

The heart of the home is the fitted kitchen/breakfast room with a range of built in appliances and boasts a large central island creating a lovely space to entertain. There is also a utility corner and a built-in seating area to one corner. From here there are double doors opening out in the beautifully presented and private enclosed gardens. At the end of the kitchen is the exposed mill wheel which is simply stunning and there is an open way leading through to the dining room and also the living room. The mill wheel is the central feature which brings these three rooms together along with the many exposed beams and feature brick walls would be the talking point of any of your guests.

To the first floor there is a large landing with feature fireplace along with an outlook over the river kennet along with the glazed panel to the flooring exposing the mill wheel. There are 3 double bedrooms on this level with one of them having access through large sliding barn doors and also offers an en suite shower room. There is also a beautiful family bathroom on this level.

To the second floor is a fourth bedroom suite complete with en suite.

Outside there are private enclosed gardens with pedestrian access out onto the lane. The gardens are landscaped with mature planting and numerous areas to sit and entertain or to just sit and enjoy this idyllic position. There is a substantial 20ft workshop complete with a raised decking which looks back on the mill. The parking area sits behind the workshop and has space for numerous vehicles.

As you walk out of your gardens you are straight out into stunning countryside and waterside walks which makes this property very special indeed.
