Built circa 1620 (early 17th century) with later enhancements, Little Millfields is an attractive period property featuring an exposed timber frame with plaster and painted brick infills, topped by a tiled roof. With just over 2000 sq. ft of interior accommodation arranged over two floors, the property has enduring historic qualities and the potential to carry out a programme of refurbishment to create a distinctive home to individual requirements, which would better suit 21st century lifestyles. On the ground floor, there are currently three reception rooms including a generous family room with feature fireplace which has an aperture to a sitting room with French doors opening to the garden. With exposed beams and posts, the adjacent dining room offers an access route to reach the paved terracing outside. The kitchen has a cream Aga at its heart and a range of fitted cabinets, a separate breakfast room, walk-in larder, an adjoining utility room and a boot room completes the ground floor. On the first floor, elevated views over the delightful garden and grounds can be appreciated, with rooms comprising four bedrooms and a family bathroom. The principal room features the bay window alcove and has access to extensive eaves storage.

The garden at Little Millfields offers a green outdoor sanctuary, with areas of lawn partitioned by low stone and brick walls, clipped evergreen hedging and pathways, with terracing adjoining the house providing spots to sit and dine, whilst summer houses provide shelter. The garden extends to more naturalistic settings with mature trees and woodland ground cover planting and there is timber post-and-rail fencing which forms separation to paddocks and fields. The cluster of accessory outbuildings offer versatile-use options and include two stable blocks, an open barn, garaging and an adjoining car port, as well as several flexible-use storage buildings. In all the grounds extend to 6.7 acres.
