A beautifully presented 1730s watermill conversion tucked away in the idyllic countryside near the town of Kington in Herefordshire. The property was built in 1737 and still has many of the mill’s original features including the mill wheel. From the utility room, which has ample space for your coats and boots, you will come to an open-plan living area with a well-equipped kitchen. The sitting area, with its stone walls and exposed beams, is presented in a homely fashion around an old fashioned wood burner. From the sitting area you will feel as though you are stepping back in time as you enter the flag stoned dining room which still incorporates many of the mill’s original features including the pit wheel, wallower and shaft which are visible behind a large, internal window. Also on the ground floor is a modern shower room with basin and WC. Upstairs are three lovely bedrooms. On the first floor is a modern family bathroom and a double bedroom with shower ensuite. On the second floor are two further double bedrooms; one with a double bed and one with twin beds. There is a quarter acre wild swimming lake and the River Arrow runs past the property. The property is set in 35 acres of pasture and woodland with over two miles of mainly double bank trout fishing on the River Arrow with additional fly only catch and release on the pond.

Kington is situated near the England/Wales border in an area known as the Welsh Marches. Celebrated by visitors for its scenery, walking and cycling in the surrounding rolling hills, this town offers a number of shops, pubs and restaurants. There are a variety of tourist attractions close by including the Small Breeds Farm and Owl Centre, the nationally important Hergest Croft Gardens, Offa’s Dyke Path and Mortimer Trail long distance footpaths, and slightly further afield the National Trust properties of Croft Castle and Berrington Hall. Also within easy reach and well worth a visit is Hay-on-Wye with its numerous book shops, craft and antique shops, along with hosting the Hay Festival during the Spring Bank Holiday.
