Caynton, Newport, Shropshire TF10

A Grade II listed home full of charm and character with many period features throughout. The current owners have sympathetically renovated, and cared for, the Mill over the last 26 years creating a remarkable home that has accommodation arranged over three floors with additional attic rooms and extending to 5400 sq ft. It is complemented by stunning gardens and grounds that are bordered by the River Meese and is a haven for wildlife and nature.

Living spaces are arranged over the first two floors. There is a large family kitchen with beautifully hand built oak furniture at one end of the ground floor, that provides a range of cupboards, large central island and an Aga. A sitting room, utility, boiler room complete the ground floor, with access to the garaging area also.

A bespoke built staircase runs up through the property. On the first floor is a large drawing room with wood burning stove, dining room and study. The second floor has four large bedrooms, one ensuite and a family bathroom. The other two bedrooms have showers fitted within. The top floor is accessed by two staircases and provides storage, or additional bedrooms. All rooms have windows over looking the mill pond and southerly views down the gardens and grounds.

Garden and Outside
There is a large gravelled driveway behind a five bar gate that provides plenty of parking. There is a terrace and decking to the front of the mill over the mill race and mill pond. Within this part of the grounds are a stable block with three loose boxes and tack room.

A great opportunity for self sufficiency – the current owners have a thriving bee colony.

For those who have horses, there is a great outbuilding set lower down the grounds that could be adapted for stables, and on the edge of the plot, a bridleway giving access to outriding.
