Twin gates and a gravel drive lead you to the Old Mill House, an exceptional detached 18th Century residence that sits proudly on its own island. Steeped in history and character, the house is believed to be where John Keats completed The Eve of St. Agnes in 1819. A tranquil river frames the front of the island while an estuary lies to the rear, creating a private, waterside setting with a strong sense of seclusion. A footbridge takes you over to the main house which is arranged over three floors and offers 3910 sq ft of living space and includes four reception rooms, kitchen/breakfast room, utility room, shower room and conservatory which overlooks the swimming pool on the ground floor.
