Full Description: Tucked away in a valley on the site of a former mill is this charming 17th century house with four bedrooms, riverside gardens and parking for three vehicles. There are beautiful period features throughout including intricate fireplaces, painted exposed stone walls, beams and ornate antique french style radiators. The main entrance has a slate tiled portico and leads into a spacious hallway which has a storage area and a glazed door to the kitchen. Both these rooms feature a stunning quarry tiled floor with decorative border. In the kitchen there is a stone working fireplace and beautiful cupboards made with locally sourced elm beneath slate work surfaces. There is a traditional British made Esse stove creating a super cosy room with easily adjusted heat settings for cooking. In addition, there is an induction hob and a belfast sink with granite work tops either side. There is a stable door which opens to the garden and a glazed door to the living room. This room has a beautiful inglenook fireplace with a wood burning stove, a flagstone floor and french doors to the garden. There is a bespoke oak crafted shelved cabinet that is hinged and opens, cleverly concealing the under stair cupboard. Very wide winding carpeted oak stairs lead to a landing with exposed oak boards. There are three bedrooms on the first floor with fireplaces, one of which has ornate herringbone brickwork. There is a family bathroom with a roll top bath and a glorious roof lantern above. The winding stairs continue up to a study/dressing room, shower room and through to the main bedroom which has fabulous river views. Outside there are beautiful gardens to the front and side and several seating areas, including one within the ruin of a former cottage, creating a wonderful idyllic terrace overlooking the river. Opposite and to the side of the property there is parking for several vehicles. There is also lapsed planning permission for a one and a half storey extension, with the foundations already having been laid. A truly fabulous location surrounded by a wealth of wildlife, including otters, kingfishers and owls, to name but a few. There are glorious river walks to the nearby villages and surrounding countryside. Frome is approximately 2.5 miles away and Mells just 2 miles down the road where there is a school, a shop with a post office, café and a pub serving delicious food. Council Tax Band D   EPC GServices - Mains electricity and water, Septic drainage, Oil central heatingFreehold
