Hertfordshire WD4

Location details

Description:

One of the country’s few remaining mill houses, The Old Mill House is believed in parts to date back to Roman times and is accessed via wrought iron gates beside a castellated gatehouse and brick remnants of the original mill, including two historic mill wheels, opening into a large paved courtyard that sets the tone for this remarkable and characterful home.

The seven-bedroom house retains an abundance of period charm across three floors, complemented by a separate detached two-bedroom cottage. Many of the principal rooms are double or triple aspect with traditional window seats, while the reception spaces open onto the garden and terrace through elegant French doors. The drawing room has a striking baronial feel with oak panelling, exposed beams and a carved stone fireplace, while the kitchen, complete with Aga, opens onto a terrace overlooking the River Gade.

Upstairs, the first floor hosts the principal suite with its own balcony and fireplace alongside four additional bedrooms, while the second floor provides two further bedrooms, offering flexible accommodation across the property. The detached cottage includes two bedrooms, a kitchen, bathroom and living room, making it ideal for guests, staff or independent accommodation.

Set within approximately 3.5 acres of beautiful mature English gardens, the grounds feature original stone and wooden bridges crossing the waterways, landscaped terraces, lawns and woodland, creating a peaceful and private setting. The estate also includes a heated swimming pool with pool house, detached garaging for three to four cars, and ample additional driveway parking for up to twenty vehicles.
