Eddells Mill, Painswick, near Stroud, Gloucestershire, GL6 6TZ - £1.1million

On the market for the first time in over 70 years, Eddells Mill is an enchanting 16th century mill house in a wonderful waterside location with a well-established garden.  Currently with four bedrooms, three reception rooms and a bathroom, it offers a rare opportunity for sympathetic renovation to create a very special family home in an appealing corner of the Cotswolds.

This authentic property is packed with period character including the Mill Room, now converted into a vaulted drawing room complete with minstrel’s gallery, window seats, an inglenook fireplace, a walk-in pantry and an oak balcony walkway.

Sitting in a peaceful and rural setting of some 4.6 acres, there is a range of outbuildings including a stone stable and an annexe that would be perfect for independent living, a wooden stable, fenced paddocks, an orchard with apple, pear and plum trees as well as the beautiful mature waterside gardens and grounds overlooking the Painswick Stream.

Southwest-facing and set back from a quiet country lane, the mature garden comprises lawns with herbaceous borders, Cotswold stone walling and the former mill stone now a water feature.  There is an underground apple store which may have been a former icehouse, and with the original mill pond fed by the Painswick Stream.

Starting life as a corn mill, Eddells Mill later became a cloth (woollen) mill and was put up for sale in 1797 with 6 acres and outbuildings at a time when Painswick produced many of the uniforms for the British Army.  It was converted into a house in 1926.
