Thorington Street, Stoke By Nayland, Suffolk CO6

Georgian house and former mill in the most beautiful setting.

Description
Mill House is located in a stunning position overlooking the River Box with uninterrupted views surrounding the property. It has a handsome façade and it is believed the property dates back to the 18th Century and is Grade II Listed, being of architectural and historical importance. The house offers well proportioned accommodation typical of the period, featuring large sash windows, fireplaces, and generous ceiling heights. The ground floor includes two reception rooms, a kitchen, boot room and cloakroom, with stairs rising to three bedrooms and a bathroom on the first floor. The Mill itself is a former flour mill, constructed to a high standard with an oak frame and tiled roof. It has four levels and provides extensive storage areas and a stage level within the roof space.

Outside, the setting is exceptional where a private rear terrace over looks the river. The gardens are laid to lawn, offering a peaceful and secluded outdoor space. The property includes the ‘island’ between the main river channel and the mill chase which is wooded. There are uninterrupted views along the valley and surrounding grazing land.

While the property now requires significant refurbishment, it presents an exceptional opportunity to restore a truly remarkable period home in the most beautiful setting.
