Mill House, a historical gem built in 1647, offers a unique opportunity for renovation and investment within the scenic Cumbrian landscape. This former working mill is rich in character, featuring robust stone construction and exposed timber beams that speak to its storied past. While the current owner has maintained the property with care over nearly four decades, modern enhancements could elevate its appeal further.
Entering through the inviting hallway, you're greeted by a flexible ground floor layout that includes a bedroom and bathroom—ideal for guests or those seeking single-level living. The spacious kitchen dining room is a highlight, exuding light and warmth from its large windows and traditional Aga, setting the stage for both cooking and entertaining. Adjacent utility space and direct patio access create opportunities for outdoor dining experiences.
The snug area provides comfort with a log-burning stove, while a boot room adds functionality to daily life. Notably, the barn conversion section features an expansive split-level living and dining area with stunning views, ripe for transformation into a separate annex—an attractive prospect for multigenerational families or rental income.
Upstairs boasts three more double bedrooms including an en-suite principal suite offering lovely garden views. With some thoughtful upgrades, this space could fully maximize comfort and appeal.
The property is set on approximately 0.75 acres of beautifully landscaped grounds with mature gardens, complemented by a substantial sandstone barn that could serve multiple purposes or possibly be converted into further accommodation (subject to planning consent). With current insulation provided by biomass heating and room for improvement in energy efficiency measures, Mill House stands as both a charming home and an investment opportunity filled with potential.
