Old Corn Mill

OLD CORN MILL

Old Corn Mill is a charming home, bursting with character, in the picturesque village of Maulds Meaburn. Dating back to 1690, this former mill is an historic building with an interesting past. The property nestles next to the village green, surrounded by beautiful countryside.

ACCOMMODATION

Old Corn Mill has a wealth of history, and this is evident on entering the property. The property has been extensively renovated over its lifetime and is beautifully finished. The ground floor features one of the bedrooms, currently used as an office, with low level window, tiled floor, and exposed beams. The hallway features traditional stone floors which run throughout the ground floor, adding character to the building. A nicely fitted bathroom with shower is also located from the hall, on the ground floor, as well as access to an integrated garage with electricity supply and large, traditional wooden doors.

The spacious, open plan, ground floor contains a bespoke, solid wooden kitchen with tile worktops. The kitchen offers dual aspect windows as well as a stable door that gives access to the patio area. Markings on a beam here show the date of the second part of the building work to occur in the mill, when it was extended in 1813.

Opposite the kitchen is a dining area or snug which is nestled perfectly next to the original shaft from the shot over mill wheel. Down two stairs is a lower level offering a brightly lit, smaller seating area, next to a large widow offering views onto the original mill race. A small utility room or storage room sits to the side of this level.

A beautifully simple and minimal staircase leads you up onto a landing, offering further views onto the green, fields beyond, and mill race below, then up onto the main upper floor. This large space features exposed beams and vaulted ceilings, giving a great sense of openness.

The living room yields the majority of the accommodation here and is a fantastic space to relax. The focal point of the room is the log burning stove, which is positioned centrally, beautifully mounted on one of the original mill stones. The opposite side of the room features another area that would work perfectly as a reading snug or additional office space. This area gives fantastic views down onto the mill wheel shaft and beams that originally supported the mill stones.

Down the corridor, you access a larger family bathroom with built in bath and shower above. Two double bedrooms also feature with the master bedroom having ample space and a sizeable window. This window was originally the access door to the upper level of the mill and floods the room with natural light.

OUTSIDE

The property benefits from off street private parking and mature gardens. The Patio area is a fantastic place to relax with views onto the green and the stone bridge over the river Lyvennet. To the side of the property, the mill race is surrounded by a garden area that flows round to the rear of the property and is split level.
