Why this property will seduce you

  • Exclusive Natural Setting: 30 acres of private lakes and woodland.
  • Unique Architectural Heritage: Former mill with visible water channel.
  • Revealed Flexible Potential: Outbuildings for future development.
Set just outside Watlington, Watlington Mill is a remarkable former mill house offering exceptional character, privacy and potential. Surrounded by approximately 30 acres of lakes, woodland and mature gardens, this unlisted country home presents a rare opportunity to create a stunning family residence, rural retreat or live/work lifestyle property, with further scope offered by the extensive outbuildings, subject to planning.Approached via a long private driveway with turning circle and covered entrance porch, the principal house sits beautifully within its own expansive grounds. Arranged over three floors, the accommodation is full of character, with unusual room shapes, period details and a layout that reflects the property's historic evolution.
The ground floor includes a spacious dining room, a bright and airy family sitting room with an open fireplace and direct access to the gardens and terrace, a study, an additional reception room and a charming cottage-style kitchen centred around a large open fireplace. One of the most distinctive features of the house is the original water channel, visible through a glass floor panel within the property.Upstairs, there are five generous double bedrooms and two bathrooms, including a principal bedroom with vaulted ceilings and beautiful views across the lakes and surrounding grounds. The remaining bedrooms are arranged in a wonderfully characterful and individual layout, ideal for family living or guest accommodation.
As the property is not listed, it offers excellent flexibility for a new owner to restore, modernise or completely reimagine the internal layout to suit modern living.Watlington Mill extends to approximately 30 acres of diverse and picturesque grounds, creating a private and peaceful setting rarely found so close to excellent transport links. Immediately behind the house is the mill lake, forming a beautiful waterside backdrop to the gardens, terraces and entertaining spaces.
Beyond this lies a substantial main lake, supporting a multitude of fauna, carp, roach, dragonflies, and set amongst areas of woodland and natural wild gardens, providing a haven for wildlife and a wonderful sense of seclusion. The grounds support an abundance of British wildlife including herons, egrets, ducks, foxes and badgers, while nearby grazing land and open countryside further enhance the rural atmosphere.
The outbuildings provide valuable additional space and considerable future potential. They could be adapted for guest accommodation, holiday lets, home offices, workshops, studios, wellness facilities or a live/work business environment, subject to the necessary consents. For buyers seeking a lifestyle property with flexibility and long-term opportunity, the estate offers exceptional scope.Location & Amenities
