Knockmill is a really attractive and well presented detached Grade II listed property dating back to the 1600s with later additions up to the 1990s, located in an Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty.
Surrounded by farmland and bluebell woods, the house is extremely private and boasts many original features to add to its charm.
Reception rooms including the sitting room face south; the sitting room has two sets of French doors out to the terrace, as well as an open fireplace. The drawing room is located in the oldest part of the house and benefits from exposed timbers and a large inglenook fireplace with a wood-burning stove. An open plan dining room sits off the drawing room, and the study is accessed from there.
