The Property
Millwood Manor is a striking and imposing Grade II Listed property with an abundance of stunning original features. The historic property forms a substantial wing of Millwood which was constructed around 1860 with later alterations and extensions in High Victorian Gothic style. Formerly a private residence, Millwood Manor is currently configured as a successful holiday let. Interested parties may wish to secure a business opportunity, or may prefer to create a wonderful and characterful private home.
The accommodation is laid out over three floors. The grand front door opens to a vestibule then onwards to the truly amazing entrance hall. The historic nature of Millwood Manor is on full display, with decorative floor tiling, a marble pillar dividing two elegant arches and stunning stained glass bringing light through a soaring window above the half landing. There are three large reception rooms. The drawing room and sitting room provide space for relaxing, whilst the dining room is perfect for more formal entertaining. Every room has a high ceiling and there are delightful touches such as bay windows, window seats, decorative coving and cornicing, along with feature fireplaces. The kitchen has a country house atmosphere with quality cabinetry designed with traditional style. There is ample storage and workspace, with a Belfast sink and a Rangemaster cooker tucked in a tiled inglenook. There is plenty of space for a table and chairs for casual dining. The ground floor is completed by a useful WC.
There are four bedrooms accessed from the spectacular first floor landing, where an eye-catching vaulted ceiling reaches high above. The fabulous principal suite incorporates a vast bedroom with bay window, dressing room and a lovely en-suite bathroom. The three remaining bedrooms offer great flexibility and are served by a bathroom and a separate shower room. The bathroom is a surprising escape, with a luxurious suite and also comfortable relaxing space. The separate shower room adds convenience for large families or visiting parties.
The lower ground floor offers a host of further possibilities. A variety of store rooms, along with the boiler room and a utility room cover the full footprint of the house. There is scope to create further accommodation, subject to securing the necessary permissions which could greatly increase the living or sleeping options at Millwood Manor.
Externally
Millwood Manor is nestled in extensive gardens including sweeping lawns, a magical terraced patio and areas of mature woodland, with magnificent vibrant rhododendron and a host of other colourful plant species. The surrounding trees bring shelter and privacy. In all, the property occupies a plot of almost 2 acres.
The curving driveway sweeps to the front of the house before looping around a central island, and there is ample parking for several vehicles.
