The Old Mill house is a Georgian six-bedroom country house in Worcestershire of immense charm dating back to the 1780s. Extensions and refurbishment has meant the property now provides a total of 6,890sq ft of living accommodation and outbuildings.
The bright, white elevation and attractive Ogee arched windows and pretty painted fleur de lys to the front ensure this property is one of the most attractive in the area.
Inside the house is full of charm and period character: the library is a lovely room with fitted shelving and an open fireplace; the sitting room has an impressive inglenook fireplace and a window seat to the side; the large drawing room has a pair of double-glazed doors leading directly to the gardens and the dining room enjoys a double aspect to the rear courtyard.
Upstairs in the main part of the house are five double bedrooms with one en suite - the others share a family bathroom.

Accommodation in total comprises: reception hall, drawing room, dining room, breakfast room, library, kitchen/breakfast room, atrium, two cloakrooms and six bedrooms plus three bathrooms and an indoor pool.
The property also comes with a Coach House which is a high ceiling room ripe for development which leads at the moment to the indoor swimming pool. There are two garages and a stable.
The gardens come to around 0.65 acres and are laid to lawn. These lawns lead down to the River Salwarpe where the owner has fishing rights. To the rear is an enclosed formal courtyard.
The Old Mill House is situated in the village of Salwarpe, in a peaceful position at the end of the village beside the river, but it's also perfectly placed for access to Worcester (6 miles) and the M5. Nearby Droitwich Spa provides everyday services and shopping.
The guide price is £895,000. For further information please contact Knight Frank on 01905 723 438 or visit www.knightfrank.co.uk.
