Nestled within approximately ten acres and set amidst the gentle Hampshire countryside, The Old Mill is an exceptional country home of rare character and history enjoying an idyllic and highly secluded setting whilst remaining conveniently accessible to the nearby villages of Bramshott, Liphook and Headley.

The Old Mill presents a once-in-a-generation opportunity to acquire a landmark home and continue it’s rich heritage.

An electric gate opens to reveal a single track drive way meandering alongside the river, following the old waggoners route, to open up into a wide parking area leading to an integral double garage. The approach is such a gentle rural introduction where ducks, dragonflies and the occasional Kingfisher can be found before the magnificence of the Old Mill house is revealed, arranged over four floors this handsome home should feel imposing but the use of original cream Bargate Stone mean it feels warm and welcoming.
(Pedestrian access from Tunbridge Lane can also be found via a bridge over the river and further parking and garaging can be found via a separate access point alongside the stables and outbuildings.)

The river and lake gently caress the house to one side, with the formal gardens and sun terrace, the sand school and paddocks falling to the other, enjoying complete privacy with fields and woodland beyond.

LOCATION: Tunbridge Lane is a rural country road, home to both large estates and more modest character cottages closer to the centre of this historic location.

Bramshott is a delightful rural village, with origins as a hamlet dating to the early 13th century. At the heart of the village is St Mary’s church (1220) which has an open churchyard extending to approximately 5 acres and includes over 300 Canadian WW1 war graves. The village radiates from this point with many character properties interspersed with more modern development. The area is surrounded by much woodland (Bramshott and Ludshott commons) which were formerly part of the Royal Forest of Woolmer, with the River Wey gently meandering through much of the village.

Facilities are available in Liphook and Haslemere which are around 2-3 miles away offering a wide range of independent shops, cafes, restaurants and pubs in addition to supermarket’s (Sainsburys, Tesco’s, Waitrose and Marks and Spencer’s food hall). They offer railway stations with services into London in less than an hour. The A3 close by offers excellent commuter links; Gatwick, Heathrow and Southampton airports are also all within an hour.

Golf and Leisure facilities are available close by at Griggs Green. Further sporting facilities include racing at Goodwood and Fontwell, polo at Cowdray Park and sailing on Frensham Ponds and off the south coast at Chichester Harbour. The centre of Guildford is 15 miles away, with an excellent range of leisure, sports, entertainment and dining facilities as well as Guildford Cathedral. An alternative would be Farnham (an old English Georgian market town with narrow cobbled streets and attractive architecture) boasting many shops, cafes and restaurants, a 12th century castle and parish church. The town plays host to monthly and seasonal markets and the centrally located Farnham Maltings Arts Centre offers theatre, film and crafts events. New to the town is Brightwells Yard complex bringing a new shopping centre with a six screen cinema, restaurants, town square and public gardens.

For families, the property is well-situated with excellent state and private schools nearby, including Liphook Infants and Juniors, Woolmer Hill and Bohunt Secondary Schools as well as several pre-school/nurserys.
There is an exceptional choice of schools in the area, including St Edmund’s and Amesbury at Hindhead, as well as St Ives in Haslemere, Brookham and Highfield in Liphook and Frensham Heights in Frensham.
