The gardens lie mostly to the west and have fine flower beds with roses. The terrace sweeps around to the northern aspect and borders the conservatory beyond which the gardens are largely laid to lawn. There is also a fine summer house. To the south lies the Mill pond which is surrounded by mature trees including weeping willow, cherry and sycamore. A wooden five-bar gate leads through to an ‘island' of mixed woodland - this area of informal garden is flanked on one side by the River Stour and on the other by the Mill race and is laid to grassland with a central pathway that allows for particularly attractive woodland and riverside walks. The grounds come to just under four acres.
Wixoe Mill lies in the picturesque Stour Valley on the edge of the village of Wixoe. A wide range of amenities are to be found nearby at Sudbury and Bury St Edmonds with Newmarket 17 miles away.
The guide price is £1,225,000. For further information please contact Carter Jonas on 01787 882881 or visit www.carterjonas.co.uk.
