The property
Constructed of mellow red brick under a pitched pitched clay tile roof
Edlesborough Mill was built in the early 19th century and was last known to
have been sold by auction in 1917.
Originally a working mill using water from the River Ouzel the mill has been
successfully converted to create a handsome private home. Internally the house
combines light and spacious reception rooms with comfortable bedroom
accommodation on the first and second floors. Of particular note is the
exceptional first floor drawing room (37ft x 31ft) where the original working
components of the mill have been retained and offering outstanding views over
the mill ponds, River Ouzel and the Chiltern Hills beyond.
The Windmill
Standing to the west of the watermill is the Old Windmill, now beautifully
converted to provide unusual secondary accommodation over five floors. The
windmill has two bedrooms, the second situated at the top of the building with
exceptional far reaching views over the surrounding countryside.
/>Well maintained lawns flank the two principal ponds at Edlesborough Mill
which are edged with graceful weeping willows and an avenue of pollarded
poplars. In all there are four ponds comprising about 2. 4 acres which attract
an abundance of wildlife. The ponds are fed by the River Ouzel of which about
0. 75 miles runs through the grounds.
To the south of the mill house is open pastureland studded with a selection of
mature specimen trees and productive fruit trees; ideal for the equestrian
enthusiast.

/>The property falls within the Aylesbury Grammar Schools
catchment and there is a wide choice of independent schools in the district
including Beechwood Park, Tring Park School for the Performing Arts and
Berkhamsted Schools for boys and girls.
Communications are excellent with fast and frequent trains leaving Berkhamsted
reaching London Euston in 34 minutes or from Leighton Buzzard reaching London
Euston in 35 minutes. The M1 junction 9 is 7 miles away and Luton Airport is 9
miles distant.
