Marsh Mills House is a lovely riverside home with origins dating from the 18th century, with the current family having lived in it for over 40 years. The property has two entrances, one from the road, a large entrance door opening on to a spacious tiled reception hall, and the second from the garden through a large glazed door opening into the light and spacious, panelled hallway with doors radiating to the reception rooms, kitchen and basement entrance. The living room is a fantastic light-filled room with a bay window with doors opening on to the terrace, a bay window with seating looking over the river, and separate French windows leading to a covered patio. The room has delightful cornicing, a large fireplace with an electric fire and wooden herringbone flooring. The oak-panelled dining room has a large bay with three sets of French windows, two opening on to the garden and one into a garden room/conservatory. The kitchen is found at the rear of the hallway; it has a range of wall and floor units and space for a dining table and a bay window with a door leading to a paved terrace overlooking the backwater, a lovely private seating area. A utility room is accessed from the kitchen. The basement is accessible via stairs from the hallway and has several storage rooms, a boiler room and a wine store.
Beautiful ornate stairs rise to the first floor, leading to a spacious landing with an ornate roof lantern providing light over the landing area and stairs. The spacious principal bedroom has a wide range of fitted wardrobes and a large en-suite bathroom with picture windows overlooking the garden and river; it also has access to a roof terrace. There are four further bedrooms, two with en suite bathrooms and fitted wardrobes. Two of the bedrooms also have beautiful views over the garden and the river. A family bathroom completes the first-floor accommodation.
The annexe is located at the far end of the garden and driveway.

On the first floor is an open-plan living/dining/kitchen area, a bedroom and a separate shower room. The living room has large windows providing lots of natural light and views of the river.
The gardens of Marsh Mills House are a wonderful feature of the property. You enter the grounds via double wooden gates leading into a gravel driveway to the double garage and annexe. A gated entrance leads you to a path down to the property and with access to the lawned garden.
