An Bridport property which has gone on the market for £800,000 harbours a secret oasis.
This Grade II listed former mill on East Road boasts an impressive 1.24 acres of land and amongst these tranquil grounds is a beautiful river, inviting the homeowner to enjoy nature and the wildlife it brings – or in the summer months even a dip in the waters.
Views of the beautiful gardens can also be enjoyed from the summerhouse or the wooden bridge that runs across the river.
For those who prefer a bit of shade, there are also a variety of trees that offer just that, as well as beautiful and seasonal flowers and plants.
The home itself is very spacious with a rustic theme running throughout, whether it’s the wooden beams which exude character or the stone fireplace which adds a certain personality and warmth to the room.
Again, this charm is carried through to the kitchen with an impressive Aga surrounded by exposed brickwork.
As you step into this historic home through the porch you are greeted by a hallway lined with flagstone flooring picture rails and stairs rising to the first floor.
There is space for a large family with six bedrooms and five bathrooms and for those that enjoy entertaining, there are also three reception rooms.
The current owners have also created a one-bedroom annexe, which is arranged over two storeys complete with a shower room.
