Tucked away down a private driveway, surrounded by mature trees on its approx.
0. 7 acre plot, sit Milking Hill House, a beautiful and substantial family
home. Steeped in history, this property used to be on the site of Porters
Brewery.
There is plenty of space to grow with its flexible accommodation spanning 3700
sqft. As you enter the property, you will find a wide entrance hall with tiled
floor, perfect for muddy boots and paws. Further into the home is the snug. A
cosy space to relax and only one of the 5 reception rooms on offer. The large
kitchen diner is the heart of the home. It boasts a 7 ring gas hob on a range
cooker, and plenty of space for a large table, perfect for hosting Christmas
with all the family. There is also a utility with 2 full length cupboards,
sink, storage and w/c, plus convenient access to the rear garden.
The dining room offers a warm comforting glow with the multi fuel burner,
great for cosy nights in winter and saving on heating bills! The sun room,
ideal space to relax in the summer, doors opening onto the private patio area
and there is also the living room and the study.
Upstairs, the main bedroom has the benefit his and hers built in wardrobes and
a gorgeous large en suite bathroom.
Bedroom 2 has a feature arched window with stained glass and sunlight streams
in through both windows. It also has its own en suite shower room.
Further into the property, you will find bedroom 3, bedroom 4 and 5, and yet
another en suite bathroom.
Another huge bonus with this property is its annex. Currently used as a large
home office and gym, it has the potential to be a granny annex as there is
lighting, power and a w/c. Alternatively, it would make for an amazing Air B
'n' B as the office sports a log burner and is plenty big enough for a studio
flat!
The plot itself is almost 2/3 of an acre of mature trees, apple, pear, plum,
green gage, acacia, bay tree, grape vines, blackcurrant, gooseberry and walnut
trees. There are 3 large sheds and a small barn, all of which have power.
Milking Hill House was initially used by staff members who used to work at the
ginger beer factory for the Porter Family. The central part of the house
(current dining room) dates back to 1820. The door leading into the living
room used to open onto fields which lead to Milking Hill Pond, hence, Milking
Hill House. The pond was also accessible via Blackhorse Lane where the route
would follow the current 'water run off ditch' at the bottom of the garden.
There is so much on offer, this property must be seen.
