A rare opportunity to acquire a distinctive and sympathetically converted watermill dating to 1818. The property was originally constructed by the Cholmeley family who have lived on the Brandsby estate for over 350 years and was chiefly used for the production and grinding of corn and animal feedstuffs for the nearby estate. Records show that the mill ceased operating in 1946 and was subsequently converted into a substantial family home. The property provides versatile and extensive accommodation over 3 floors and a unique living experience. Whilst a range of outbuildings offer further exciting potential (subject to consents)
This stunning home is ideally situated in beautiful private gardens and grounds approaching three quarters of an acre on the fringe of the village of Brandsby and is just 4 miles from the popular market town of Easingwold.
A much loved family home for more than 30 years , the property offers the best of rural living with the convenience of local amenities and good road links. The accommodation is spacious and well-balanced with 5 generous bedrooms and 2 reception rooms. The principal reception room known as the Mill Room, is an impressive open space retaining many original features including splendid oak beams and exposed stone walls.
The property is approached from Crayke Road on the fringe of the very pretty village of Brandsby. A small courtyard area gives access to the house and outbuildings with the original mill stream alongside the western boundary. The main garden area is approached from a series of stone steps and is largely lawned with well-stocked mature borders and a variety of specimen trees. The total land area extends to around 3/4 of an acre.
Whilst The Old Watermill has been a much loved family home, it also offers potential to parties looking for a home based leisure/business opportunity.
