Description

This former mill house, known as The Old Mill, sits on an expansive 0.44-acre plot and presents a remarkable opportunity for renovation and investment.

This residence offers the potential for a unique transformation into a modern family home, allowing future owners to customize the design to suit their lifestyle while preserving its historic charm. The sizable grounds offer ample space for landscaping and outdoor entertainment areas.

The village itself boasts a strong community vibe with a local pub, nursery, and farm shop, while further amenities are available in nearby towns. Commuters will appreciate the convenience of Darsham's mainline railway station offering regular services to London Liverpool Street via Ipswich. The surrounding area features stunning natural beauty along the Heritage Coast with access to unspoiled beaches and scenic coastal walks. Key locations such as Minsmere RSPB reserve, Dunwich Heath, Aldeburgh, and Thorpeness are all within easy reach.
