Highbridge Mill is a substantial Grade II listed mill house believed to date back to 1810. The house has a great character and retains many original features including the old water wheel.
Accommodation is arranged over three levels and with an impressive entrance hall with galleried landing, vaulted ceiling and an oak staircase whilst on the top floor is an impressive sitting room with beehive fireplace and a vaulted ceiling.
The dining room has a triple aspect and a trap door to the office below (which also has a conventional entrance). A large kitchen offers a fine family space, while the middle and lower-ground floors house the impressive bedroom accommodation, which consists of the master bedroom, guest bedroom suite and three further bedrooms. The former mill room is accessed from outside and is currently used as a wine cellar.

Outside the gardens are a major feature of the property. To the rear, they are orientated about the mill race with fruit trees and sweeping lawns, and to the side is an area of woodland separated from the rest of the garden by a pretty stream, which has a large pool. To the front is now a meadow and a woodland galde which has a wonderful carpet of seasonal bluebells - the land comes to around four-and-a-half acres.
Highbridge Mill is located just outside the historic West Sussex village of Cuckfield which has a good range of independent shops. Haywards Heath is just over four miles and has regular services to London.
The guide price is £1.7m. For further information please contact Knight Frank on 01403 339 180 or visit www.knightfrank.co.uk.
