The space Situated in the beautiful coastal village of Brancaster, this large house is excellently curated with emphasis on cool styling, easy living and ultimate relaxation. Old Mill House is the epitome of practicality for a multi-generational family, two families holidaying together or a group of friends. Old Mill House is an attractive detached Victorian holiday home of traditional brick and flint construction, nestled right in the heart of the desirable village of Brancaster. Tucked quietly out of the way in a secluded private location, while still having very easy access to all the local delights this village has to offer - a great pub, a village shop selling delicious local produce and, of course, the stunning beach for which it is renowned. Extended and refurbished in 2022 to a very high standard, the house maintains original character while blending harmoniously with the new extension that opens up the house to a superb, large sociable open-plan kitchen / dining / living space with a warm glow from a funky neon sign - just the place to congregate, chill out, catch up and chat after an active day out and about in this fabulous coastal area. The extremely fully equipped kitchen boasts all Bosch appliances, including two eye level ovens, and a large American fridge / freezer which provides both filtered water and an ice making machine. There is a choice of both formal and informal dining areas at either the table or a breakfast bar. French doors welcome the outside in when the mood takes you. A small snug area at the far end of the room has comfortable seating and a Smart television built into the dresser to keep you entertained, along with games and jigsaws. Across the entrance hallway is an elegant panelled sitting room with sumptuous corner sofa, a wood burning stove and another Smart television for when you choose to curl up and watch a film or your favourite series on catch up, and maybe a post Sunday lunch snooze! Also on this floor is a separate utility room with laundry facilities including a traditional pulley clothes airer, a wine fridge, space for a dog bed and a cloakroom. The boot room beyond is made for drying wet coats and dirty boots, and a boiler room with a clothes rail is a great location for hanging a wetsuit. Upstairs on the first floor are five inviting bedrooms, the master with super-king bed, television and steps leading down to a fabulous bathroom, a king-size room, also with an en-suite, another super-king bed that splits to provide twin beds if preferred, a twin bedroom and lastly a 'cabin' room featuring a nautical theme and bespoke bunk beds - each room has been given their own individual personality with gorgeous fabrics, calm hues and luxurious beds dressed with beautiful bedding to ensure a wonderful night's sleep. A separate bathroom with a walk-in shower completes the scene. Outside, the house has a spacious, fully enclosed private garden with plenty of room for everyone to spread out, and where dogs and children can play safely within sight.
