Twizel Mill House
Retreat to the blissful charm of riverside living in this fine country home sitting on a prime spot on the banks of the River Till.
With the tumbling waters of the nearby cauld breaking the silence, this private riverside abode will be a perfect retreat for some relaxation time in the company of family and friends.
This is a multi-level property with four bedrooms and three bathrooms spread across two wings. The main access leads down to the lower ground floor which opens out to a large open plan kitchen, dining area and snug. Key features here include the large bi-folding doors which open out to enjoy those idyllic riverside views, while the large Severn woodburner is a perfect spot to hunker down and get warm when the temperature starts to drop.
This leads up to the main hall and into the elegant drawing room with classic furnishings and deep sofas offering an ideal space for relaxation, entertaining or an evening sing-song around the piano perhaps!
Two bedrooms and two separate bathrooms are accessed off the main staircase, each benefitting from the south facing aspect and river views. Two further bedrooms and a bathroom sit off the immediate access hallway, one with twin beds which can be configured to a super king for added flexibility, while a sweet wood-clad double room deftly oozes that cosy cabin feel.
The garden and grounds benefit from a southerly aspect and offer extensive outdoor space for rest or play, extending up or down river with an abundance of picturesque walking trails for those looking for something a bit more energetic.
FISHING
Fishing can be arranged separately at additional cost, and it may be possible to provide a ghillie where required. Providing approximately two miles of double bank fishing on the River Till for two rods, the beat comprises a number of pools including the famous Mill Pool beside the Mill House and the Wheel Pool below Twizel Bridge. Fishing can only be let in conjunction with the letting of Twizel Mill House and there will be no other parties fishing the river independently during bookings. Please contact us for further details.
