Welcome to The Old Mill House, a charming Grade II-listed 17th-century retreat that combines timeless heritage with contemporary luxury.

The cottage’s enchanting flint-and-brick façade is framed by a walled front garden beautifully landscaped, while a cobbled path leads to the gated side entrance. Stepping into the hallway, and you’re transported back in time, starting with the historic Earth Floor - a beautifully worn brick surface rich with character. Exposed beams, original stone floors, and the front door’s original key all add to the sense of timelessness.

The living/dining room is warm and inviting, with a brick fireplace, exposed beams, leaded windows, and ample space for hosting. Adjacent is the newly restored scullery, a breathtaking space approved by English Heritage. Featuring a glass ceiling, carefully placed sister beams, and views of the original flint walls, it perfectly balances history and modernity.

A newly added garden room with a glass lantern roof, located just off the kitchen and living room, adds to the home’s charm, providing a peaceful space and extra optional dining area that opens out onto the first lower patio and the South East-facing garden beyond.

The cottage kitchen is a blend of tradition and practicality, with quartz countertops, wooden cabinetry, and quality integrated appliances. Opposite, alcove shelving provides additional pantry space. For history enthusiasts, the remains of an original bread oven were discovered by a camera inspection behind the lounge fireplace, suggesting that there may be an inglenook fireplace – an exciting feature the next owners might choose to explore further if they wish to uncover more of the cottage’s 400-year-old history.

The ground floor flows naturally from one inviting space to the next, including the stylish fitted bathroom with a freestanding roll top bath and a striking copper sink.

Upstairs, the three bedrooms and a modern shower room continue the theme of comfort and character. The principal bedroom, bathed in natural light, boasts leaded windows, hand-crafted wardrobes, and high ceilings, while acoustic café shutters add both insulation and tranquillty. The second double bedroom has plenty of wardrobe space and lovely garden views from the lead-light windows. The third single bedroom is ideal for children or as a study.

The entire property has been thoughtfully updated with new insulation, soundproof flooring, carpets, and rewiring, including a dedicated power supply to the outbuildings.

Step into the South East-facing garden (648 sq.metres) and you’ll discover a haven for relaxation and entertaining. The garden bar and cabana are equipped with power, lighting, a wood burner, and space for fridges and a pizza oven—perfect for hosting. The guest lodge offers luxurious accommodation for visitors or holidaymakers, complete with Wi-Fi and independent access, making it perfect for guests attending the renowned Goodwood motor racing events or enjoying a tranquil coastal break.

At the far end of the garden lies a spacious office/studio, ideal for remote work, a gym, or an art studio. The wood workshop, complete with a stone floor and storage area, is a dream for hobbyists.

The Old Mill House is truly unique, combining historic charm with modern comforts and exceptional outdoor spaces. With so many features, this cottage must be seen to fully appreciate its versatile and comfortable living space.
