A recently refitted cloakroom includes a walk-in shower with thermostatic drench head, porcelain floor tiles and Metro wall tiles with WC and pedestal wash hand basin.

At the heart of the house is the kitchen fitted with high quality hand painted cabinets under oak block work surfaces including a movable central island. Appliances include an electric ceramic hob, under mounted Pyrolytic oven and further integral appliances include a fridge, freezer, dishwasher, washing machine and dryer.

The conservatory enjoys beautiful views to the garden with double doors opening to a raised terrace with steps down to the garden.

Occupying the front of the property is a spacious and characterful living room with exposed beamed ceiling and an open fire basket within a brick recess with pitch pine surround and quarry tile hearth. Limed oak floorboards run throughout the room and there are French doors leading out to a paved terraced and the south east facing gardens.

A turned staircase with light oak handrails leads to the first-floor landing giving access to three double bedrooms, all having vaulted ceilings, bespoke hand painted wardrobes and exceptional rural views. A recently refitted and luxurious family bathroom includes a claw foot bath with thermostatic drench head shower and screen, a contemporary WC and pedestal wash hand basin, porcelain tile flooring and beautiful views to the gardens.

Gardens and Grounds
Lowcross Mill House is approached through a walled and brick pillared gated entrance onto an L-shaped driveway providing parking for numerous vehicles, and in turn leads to a detached double garage with remote control roller shutter door. Worthy of particular mention are the attractive mature and generous gardens which are beautifully landscaped including large areas of rolling well-kept lawn, fringed with raised well-stocked borders containing an abundance of ornamental shrubbery and flowering plants. The formal gardens enjoy a most idyllic backdrop of a winding brook fringed with established deciduous trees creating a private and beautiful outdoor space. The gardens can be enjoyed from two patios to the rear of the house in addition to the conservatory, which overlooks most of the formal gardens.
