Four-bed timber-framed house above the river

About this home

Wintersett Lane climbs out of the valley on the Ashcombe side of the river, and this is one of the four houses built along it in 1926 for the mill’s managers. It has the black-and-white timbering and the decorated gables of its date, and the leaded casements are original.

The ground floor has a drawing room across the front, a dining room, a study, and a kitchen with a long table at the garden end. The principal bedroom has an en suite and a window that looks straight down the valley; there are three further bedrooms and a family bathroom.

The garden is in two parts: a gravel garden at the front, planted for dry summers, and a terraced lawn behind that drops to a hedge. The double garage is at the top of the drive.

The EPC is low because the walls are solid and the windows single-glazed. We have a quote from the current owners’ surveyor for secondary glazing and loft insulation, which we can share at a viewing.
