Description A handsome and substantial restored Grade II Listed country house, occupying a wonderfully private setting within the Dover Beck Valley, with extensive gardens, paddocks, traditional outbuildings, a stable yard and a detached cottage requiring renovation. Set within about 9.78 acres, The Old Mill House is an exceptional period home of considerable character and presence. Dating principally from the Georgian period, with later Victorian additions, the house has been sympathetically restored by the current owners to create an elegant and practical family residence, combining period architecture with high-quality modern appointments.
