Bideber Mill is approached via a long private driveway which passes under
a historic bridge and opens out into the expansive grounds of the property.
There is ample parking for several cars within various designated areas.
Access to the adjoining land, garage and workshop is by a separate gravel
roadway. The current owners use the west, former rear, entrance into the
main home, as their everyday entrance. This is conveniently located just
off the parking area. A partially glazed hardwood door opens into the light
and spacious entrance lobby, with high ceilings and painted exposed former
external stone walls- creating a fantastic feature to welcome you in to this
characterful home. The floors are finished with practical stone flags and
there is ample space for the storage of coats and shoes. Immediately off
the entrance lobby is the bright garden room. This useful and multifunctional
living space boasts glazing to the west facing wall and French doors that
open out onto the top terrace of the the garden. This is a fantastic space
to relax in, especially in spring/ summer time when the extensive panorama
of the open fields and rolling countryside really comes to life, and stunning
sunsets fill the view in the evenings. Steps lead down from the lobby into
the entrance hall, a further practical space with stone flagged floors,
complete with exposed ceilings beams.

Within what would have formerly been the barn to the corn mill sits a
versatile annexe which has previously been utilised as an independent
holiday let but has now been seamlessly reincorporated into the main
accommodation of the house. The ‘annexe’ boasts a small cosy sitting room/
snug with private external access leading to a patio garden, a cloak room
with WC and boiler housing , a lovely dining room, cottage style kitchen
and a beautiful double bedroom and ensuite shower room to the first
floor. This previously successful holiday let is also ideal for dependant
relatives or even just a great private retreat for guests. As with most of
the property, the space is filled with charming characterful features and
bespoke joinery craftsmanship, with stunning exposed ceiling beams, lintels
and woodwork.
The entrance hall also leads you through into the main house, firstly coming
to what would have been the original house of the corn mill. This large
room is now a lovely open plan reception space complete with a cosy
living area centred on a large electric stove, set upon a bespoke sandstone
hearth and lintel above, and space for a dining table and chairs. The charm
doesn’t stop there, as the room is filled with exposed wooden ceiling
beams, lintels above the door frames and deep window sills offering pretty
window seats from which to enjoy the lovely garden outlook. An external
door, formerly the front entrance, leads into a porch and further out onto
another flagged patio overlooking the south facing landscaped garden.
The bespoke kitchen fitted by local Ramwell Classic Interiors has been
handcrafted to create a homely and inviting space. Finished with traditional
painted shaker style units topped with solid oak worktops, they encompass
a Britannia Rangemaster cooker with a 6 ring ceramic hob, idyllically set
within a mosaic stone tiled inglenook. There is also space for a dishwasher
and an integrated fridge and a double Belfast sink completes the country
kitchen feel. A dual aspect allows for plenty of natural light and there is
even space in here for a more informal dining setting. Adjoining the kitchen
there is a useful utility room with space for a washing machine, dryer and
fridge freezer. Further external access can be found from here out onto
another spacious patio area, the perfect sun trap from which to enjoy
alfresco dining during the warmer months, and stunning sunsets across
the fields.

reception space to the fi rst fl oor. There are a further three double bedrooms
here, each offering their own unique charm and equally stunning views
across the different aspects. The master bedroom boasts views over the
