Originally a corn mill, the building has been expertly reimagined to blend its rich industrial past with refined contemporary living. Striking original beams sit beautifully within vaulted ceilings, while extensive glazing floods the generous interiors with natural light, creating a series of bright, airy and highly impressive spaces that celebrate both character and design. Jolly Mill is particularly appealing to those who value space, privacy and a strong connection to the outdoors. From peaceful summer evenings spent on the balconies or terraces, enjoying sweeping valley views, birdsong, and the gentle flow of the river below, to hosting family and friends within the home’s grand yet welcoming entertaining spaces and gardens. Children can explore and play safely within the private grounds, while hobbyists and equestrian enthusiasts will appreciate the freedom to spend time with horses or enjoy the workshops at leisure. Quite simply, Jolly Mill offers a way of life that is as rare as it is rewarding. Main Living Space – Top Floor - The fabulous main kitchen enjoys views through bifold doors onto the balcony and over the landscaped gardens. Its central island with bar seating allows it to be both a practical and highly sociable space where cooking and family time blend together as one. Vast granite worktops afford ample preparation space and the sleek two-tone cabinetry with larder cupboards give a modern appeal while providing plenty of storage space. Integrated appliances include four ovens, a four-zone hob with extractor, dishwasher, full length fridge and freezer, Blanco multi-tap and sink. Benefitting from an open aspect flow from the kitchen, the dining room features unique interior windows reaching high into the room which further highlight the impressive, vaulted ceilings. A log burner in the corner of the room adds a cosy touch for the colder winter months, and its large size allows ample space for even the largest of families when hosting on special occasions. From the dining room, stroll through a pair of double doors and the huge living room awaits. A range of oak French doors complement the oak floor underfoot and original beams overhead. The six pairs of oak French doors give access to balconies on all sides and tastefully frame different angles of the gorgeous surrounding scenery. A large log burner holds the centre of the space and is sure to emit a warming orange glow when required. Owing to the very generous size of this room, if needed, it could easily be a multi-functional room, adding to the versatile and flexible appeal for modern family life. Bedrooms & Bathrooms – Middle Floor - Head down the bespoke oak staircase to a large hallway connecting the bedrooms and bathrooms.

At its heart sits a contemporary, fully integrated premium kitchen with a central island, ideal for hosting, informal gatherings or summer entertaining.
