Enton Mill is a fascinating example of an attached Grade II listed former mill dating back to the 17th century. The mill was converted and extended to provide a family home in circa 1903 with Edwardian proportions.<br/>In 2015 the house was thoughtfully refurbished and upgraded including insulating and re-roofing and it now offers so much period charm. Since our clients purchased the house in 2020, further changes have been made to the interior, creating a bright and modern finish ideal for entertaining.<br/>The drawing room is a substantial entertaining room adjoined by the impressive part-panelled dining room, both of which overlook the lake. In addition, there is a substantial kitchen/breakfast room with an Aga and a high ceiling. The playroom/ office which has an adjoining kitchenette and shower room, offers great potential as a separate annexe area.<br/>There is a good balance of bedrooms and bathrooms which have been updated and of note is the substantial principal bedroom suite, with a very generous sized dressing room with wood burner.<br/>OUTBUILDINGS<br/>There is a garage, two garden stores and access down to the cellar/boiler room.<br/>GARDEN AND GROUNDS<br/>Abutting the rear of the house is a loggia and terrace and the level lawns extend to the lake. This area is interspersed with shrub borders and creates a most wonderful lakeside setting.<br/>A path leads from the lawns to an elevated walkway, above the lake, which runs through a bluebell wood and rhododendron walk to a parkland garden beyond. There is also a useful outbuilding with vehicular access in this area. Situated to the south-west is a paddock, tennis court and stables.<br/><br/>OUTBUILDINGS<br/>There is a garage, two garden stores and access down to the cellar/boiler room.<br/>GARDEN AND GROUNDS<br/>Abutting the rear of the house is a loggia and terrace and the level lawns extend to the lake.
