Mill House enjoys a gated entrance with a sweeping driveway leading to a generous area of parking. There is access to a double garage with an adjoining gym and home office above, which offers scope to accommodate multigenerational living with potential conversion into an annexe (subject to the necessary consents).

The grounds belonging to Mill House are a true delight, extending to approximately four acres and comprise large areas laid to lawn bordered by mature trees and a stream.
