MILL HOUSE
KEY FEATURES
Welcome to Mill House – an outstanding Victorian home of remarkable character, elegance, and scale, beautifully restored by the current owners since 2016. Offering over 6,000 sq ft of versatile and meticulously finished accommodation across three floors, this landmark property enjoys an enviable setting in the idyllic village of Wistow, surrounded by open Cambridgeshire countryside.
Originally two separate dwellings, Mill House and Mill Cottage, the home now stands as one substantial residence positioned on a mature and private 0.4-acre (STS) corner plot. The layout includes seven generously sized bedrooms, five reception rooms, an exceptional kitchen/diner/living space, three bathrooms, and a self-contained annexe.
A central hallway seamlessly links the original homes, featuring a grand staircase leading to the upper floors. To the front, you’ll find a formal dining room complete with a sash window and fireplace, and a versatile family room that offers excellent entertaining or relaxation space.
Tucked beneath the stairs is a dedicated office—ideal for those working from home—while to the rear, the heart of the home lies in the show-stopping kitchen/diner/living area. Recently refitted to an exceptional standard, it features a large island, integrated appliances, bi-fold doors to a secluded courtyard, and ample room for both cooking and socialising.
A vaulted-ceiling sitting room, bathed in natural light through bi-folding doors and Velux windows, connects to a charming music room and a spectacular orangery, creating a beautifully flowing living space with scope for multiple uses.
Completing the ground floor is a stylish cloakroom with a limited edition basin, a laundry room, and a separate utility room, both conveniently accessed from the kitchen.
Upstairs, the first floor hosts four spacious bedrooms, including the truly exceptional principal suite—a luxurious retreat boasting dual aspect views, a walk-in dressing room, and a stunning four-piece en suite with a freestanding bath and wet-room-style shower. A sleek three-piece shower room serves the remaining first floor bedrooms.
On the second floor, you’ll find three further double bedrooms and a well-appointed family bathroom, all continuing the theme of light, space, and quality.
The Guest Suite
Ideal for guests, multi-generational living, or independent teenagers, the self-contained annexe offers a modern kitchen, open-plan living/bedroom space, and a three-piece shower room, all thoughtfully presented and finished to a high standard.
Set on a mature and well-tended plot, the grounds include a beautiful courtyard garden ideal for al-fresco dining, a swimming pool, a double carport, multiple outbuildings, and ample off-r oad parking.
Wistow offers the perfect blend of rural charm and convenience, located just 7 miles from Huntingdon and St Ives. Huntingdon Station provides fast and regular services to London St Pancras, while the A14 and A1 offer excellent road links to Cambridge, Peterborough, and beyond.
Mill House is a rare and remarkable find—a character-filled Victorian home combining the warmth and elegance of period features with the comfort and style of modern living. Whether you’re seeking a spacious family home, multigenerational living potential, or simply a beautiful place to entertain, this property ticks every box.
