Cottage for sale in Mill Lane, Brighstone, Newport PO30

A delightful Grade II Listed cottage, formerly part of Brighstone Mill and tucked away in a desirable spot on the southerly village outskirts.

Millers Cottage was re-built around 30 years ago by well regarded local builders J R Buckett & Son as part of the conversion of Brighstone Mill and has some lovely touches which still gives it a cottage feel from latched panel doors, some exposed brickwork to partially sloping ceilings to the first floor with dormer windows. Located to one end of the original mill, the cottage is bordered by a pretty stream which flows down to the coast at Grange Chine. The accommodation provides good sized and partly open plan living space to the ground floor with both dining and sitting room areas adjoined by a functional kitchen. The sitting room features an impressive fireplace with fitted wood burning stove as well as a large bow window overlooking the garden. A cloakroom completes the ground floor space. To the first floor there are two double bedrooms, both with built-in bespoke storage and a well appointed shower room. There is double glazing to the windows and an oil fired central heating system warming the accommodation. Outside, the gardens are a particularly lovely feature to the cottage and have been carefully planted and landscaped to maximise privacy and enjoys the benefit of good off road parking for a number of cars.
