Property Description
"The Mill" unfolds its grandeur across three splendid levels, narrating a tale where historical charisma marries modern opulence. Converted with meticulous precision since 2004, the residence radiates an aura of refined elegance that permeates every corner. The journey through its interiors reveals spaces steeped in luxury, from cosy reception areas to intimate corners, each resonating with unique charm.
The property welcomes with a grand inner hallway that seamlessly flows into the generous living spaces. Each room, from the study to the lavish living & dining areas, resonate with a distinctive charm, culminating in an ambiance of warmth and luxury. The hallway itself opens up majestically into the staircase with its high ceilings & silent invitation to explore the floors above - with a guest W.C to hand before embarking on your explorations! From the hallway the dining room flows seemlessly into the modern open plan breakfast kitchen with its opulent granite topped worktops & island unit with breakfast bar allowing users a fabulous view of their rather grand abode. Beyond the kitchen is a laundry room, with three modern gas boilers & then a utility room with a further sink, & guest W.C off, to complete this 'wing' of the ground floor. Going back to the hallway & to the rear is a real 'hug' of a room in this sleepy snug with mood lighting creating the perfect ambiance for a music night, cinema extravaganza or just a quiet place to read in peace. In recent years the vendors have added further room to the rear, off the inner hallway, ideal as a small gym, craft room or maybe a nursery space for the kids to create havoc in!
Each floor, meticulously arranged, narrates a tale of design brilliance. On the first floor are four double bedrooms, three with their own en-suite bathrooms in addidtion to a family bathroom to serve the fourth bedroom on this floor. All the bedrooms are thoughtfully proportioned to create cosy spaces whilst also allowing plenty of room to span those wings & relax into. The master suite has been cleverly adorned with a full suite of built in 'hammonds' style wardrobes & drawers with a rather opulent en-suite off featuring a walk in shower with rainfall shower head & a full size bath to chill those aching bones in after a tough day in the office. On the top floor is a suite perfect for a family member seeking a little privacy as it boasts a small chill out lounge area, a walk in wardrobe, a space perfect as a kitchenette area as required, a double bedroom & an en-suite with a bath big enough for the local rugby team (well, the wingers anyway!)

Additionally, the property includes four stables, a triple garage with substantial office space above, and access to Thurlaston brook, complete with perch/trout fishing and clay shooting rights. The garage area, currently used for storage, a car garage, and a kitchenette/comfort area for the office, offers immense potential. It could serve as a business base, like the current owners, or be converted into an annex for family or a lodge for guests. The flexibility extends to the possibility of transforming it into an entertainment center with a bar and pool tables. The myriad uses of this space are limitless, adding to the charm and functionality of Huncote Mill's outdoor area.
Please note that due to The Mill’s position next to the Thurlaston Brook, which originally drove the mill wheel, the land adjacent to The Mill is subject to flooding in times of very heavy precipitation. This only affects the grounds & not The Mill itself & is a common feature of mill & riverside properties.
