Enter this beautiful property where every corner whispers the rich history of its past, starting with the original mill wheel elegantly preserved behind glass in the hallway. To the left, a spacious farmhouse-style kitchen/diner awaits, fully equipped with lovely granite worktops and a charming Belfast sink. Here, you can create culinary delights and gather loved ones around the table for memorable meals together. Ascend to the first floor to discover the heart of the home, a bright living area with dual-aspect windows and a striking wood burner-effect fire – a cosy retreat for evenings spent watching movies or engaging in spirited card games with family and friends. Adjacent, a generously double-size bedroom beckons with its delightful touches and en-suite shower room with WC, offering privacy and comfort.

We enjoyed a wonderful weeks stay at The Old Watermill. It was so lovely to see that the original mill's workings are still in the property. The kitchen/dining room and the lounge are very spacious. The owner Jane was very welcoming and friendly and we really enjoyed the welcome items she left for us. The location was very handy for visiting many great Wiltshire locations.
