Description
The Millhouse is mainly weatherboarded with a storm porch beneath a tiled roof and is situated at the heart of Staplecross village. The property is very stylish and well-presented throughout and offers well-proportioned accommodation with a range of attractive features including wooden floorboards and original fireplaces in several of the rooms.
Particular features of the house include a striking kitchen/breakfast room which has recently been remodelled and improved along with an unexpected section of garden which is home to the detached office/studio. There is gas-fired central heating.
The main features of the property include:
• Entrance hall with wooden flooring, stylish modern lighting and an area of exposed brick to one wall, opposite a useful understairs cupboard.
• The sitting room is a charming and bright room with some exposed floorboards, a bay window to the front and a mantelpiece with slate hearth and fireplace.
• Opposite the sitting room, the playroom/snug is another stylish area of the house, again with exposed floorboards, half-height tongue and groove to the walls, fitted window seat with storage below. Mantelpiece with cast iron fireplace and slate hearth flanked by glass display cabinets and built-in storage. Access to the staircase.
• The kitchen/dining room has recently been remodelled and now serves as a hub for the house. The kitchen/dining area has a wooden floor with painted wooden kitchen units topped by superb wooden salvaged worktops with much character. AEG gas hob and Zanussi oven, and Hotpoint under-counter two-drawer fridge. There is an open chimney with a fitted gas stove and two windows overlooking the rear garden.
• The additional utility area of the kitchen has a painted stainless-steel sink in a drainer unit of salvaged French wood. Plumbing for washing machine in a recessed area with deep shelves above. Part-glazed door to rear garden and further door to the cloakroom with WC and wash hand basin.
• On the first floor are three generous bedrooms served by a large family bathroom with roll top, claw foot bath with overhead shower attachment and glass screen, wash hand basin and WC. Built-in storage cupboard housing the boiler; wooden flooring and part tiled walls.

Outside
The house is approached via a front garden with a paved area with shrubs and trees, and a shingle area providing parking for one car. The rear garden is very well landscaped with a large paved terrace and characterful aged sleepers separating the terrace from the raised lawn. Garden storeroom.
A path leads to one side of the garden to an additional area of “secret” garden, which is an unexpected sanctuary with vegetable patch and a raised planter.
The studio/office is a recently installed detached building with a small deck to the front and is a perfect office base to work from home. There is underfloor heating and wifi/telephone lines to the house.
