A former mill house that sits on the banks of the River Avon has been put up for sale with a guide price of £2,950,000.

Littlecott Mill, which is situated on the edge of Enford, is believed to date from the 18th century and comes with fishing rights and a separate cottage.

The unlisted property also sits within grounds of 1.9 acres.

Overlooking water meadows, the church and surrounding countryside, the property offers has reception rooms on its ground floor with period features including open fireplaces, stone floors and exposed beams.

The home features a large boot room, snug and play room.

The drawing room and garden room, both with doors leading onto terraces and gardens, provide more entertaining spaces, while the kitchen/breakfast room, with bespoke units and a four oven gas fired Aga, is described as ‘a superb space for relaxed family living’.

There is a utility room and cloakroom, all located on the ground floor.

On the first floor there are six bedrooms and two bathrooms. From the master bedroom a spiral staircase leads up to the second floor to a dressing area, bathroom with free-standing roll top bath and separate shower.

The separate cottage - Mill Cottage – is included within the sale and is located opposite the house, providing versatile accommodation suitable for a variety of uses.
