19th Century Mill House and Caravan Site, Essex
-
Area
8Acres
An impressive five bedroom detached mill house in a delightful setting within the picturesque Chelmer and Blackwater Navigation Conservation Area. The property sits in grounds of approximately 8 acres and includes an established touring caravan site.
Located on the River Chelmer with delightful views of the surrounding valley, Mill House is believed to date back to 1890, with later additions and alterations. This unique home has an abundance of charm and character, with generous and flexible accommodation. The property has benefitted from improvements over the years, however, this idyllic home still offers fantastic potential with an array of outbuildings, two campsites and the option of secondary accommodation (subject to planning).
Mill House is beautifully presented throughout, with two well-proportioned reception rooms and a light and airy kitchen/breakfast room to the ground floor. There is also a study, WC and utility room adjacent to the kitchen. To the first floor are five bedrooms and a family bathroom. The master bedroom has an impressive ensuite/dressing room with a range of fitted wardrobes and French doors leading to a west facing balcony, from which you can take advantage of the most glorious sunsets overlooking the river and countryside beyond.
