5 bed detached house for sale

Chirton, Devizes, Wiltshire SN10

Church Mill House is a substantial home, well placed for good schools and communications. The house is located on a no-through lane and is believed to date from the 17th century with later Victorian additions. It sits in about 15.36 acres.

The house has enormous character and charm with light and versatile accommodation including a fantastic kitchen with granite worksurfaces, Aga and pantry which leads into an exceptional breakfast room/family room. There is an impressive dining room with vaulted ceiling, galleried landing and original fireplace with former bread oven which leads into an attractive drawing room with exposed beams and woodburning stove. There is a study and family room (potential further bedroom) and an orangery, currently used as a utility room. On the first floor there is a principal bedroom with shower room and dressing room, a guest bedroom with shower room, two further bedrooms and a family bathroom and an office area.

A drive from the lane leads to the house with ample parking. Planning permission has been granted for a triple bay garage (in perpetuity) and consent was granted in 2024 for the 'demolition of existing outbuilding and reconstruction to form Artists Studio and associated works'.

The beautiful gardens are incredibly secluded and include a productive orchard with apple, cherry and pear as well as a range of sheds and storage. A bridge over a meandering stream leads to a magnificent watermeadow of about 6 acres, which attracts an abundance of wildlife and provides ideal summer grazing. Alongside the lane, as you approach the property, is a fenced paddock of about 7.5 acres. It has a gated access at the bottom of the land and can also be accessed through the meadow. A footpath crosses part of the field.

Please note the cabin in the watermeadow is excluded from the sale
