6 bed detached house for sale

Bondend Road, Upton St. Leonards, Gloucester GL4

This Grade II listed former corn mill is thought to date back to the late 1500s and today offers exceptionally generous and versatile accommodation whilst incorporating some of the machinery associated with its former use including a repaired waterwheel.

Focused around a central reception hall with impressively proportioned bread oven, the principal ground floor accommodation is comprised of a sitting room with French doors to the garden, a wood burning stove and unusual diamond pattern ceiling beams, a dining room with imposing stone fire place, a modern fitted kitchen and a large reception room with stone flooring still housing much of the old mill workings behind a glass screen. There are two staircases to the first floor where you will find five spacious bedrooms (one accessed through another) and two bathrooms. On the top floor there are two further rooms and a bathroom which may be ideal for use as a self-contained annexe or games area whilst two more attic rooms are suitable for occasional use or storage.

Outside

Undulating lawns surround the house bounded by mature hedges and shrub borders. A paddock is sheltered by mature woodland with the River Twyver forming a natural boundary to one side. The river divides the gardens with stables, a 4-bay open barn and a productive vegetable plot situated across the stream accessed via a bridge. A substantial timber barn is also Grade II listed and offers plentiful storage for garden machinery, vehicles and much more. There is generous gated off-road parking to the front of the house.
