A property that truly takes your breath away! Tucked away in the small village of Howey, in the heart of Mid-Wales, is The Old Mill Gallery, an idyllic country residence, bursting with history which dates back as far as the 16th Century. Believed to have ceased operations as a mill in the early 1900s, the property was acquired by Powys County Council in 1933, it was briefly used as a road repair depot, with one of the road workers living in the mill house. In 1984 it returned to private ownership, and over the past 40 years it has been made into a beautiful family home, with modern fixtures and fittings throughout, whilst retaining much of its charm and historic features.
The property is approached from a one way road leading through the centre of Howey, via double hardwood gates for privacy, which open up into a large gravelled driveway with turning area. The driveway leads up to a garage/workshop, and further along to the front door of the house. The entrance hallway, complete with commercial grade woollen carpet leads into a lovely family room, on the south-eastern side of the property, with exposed timbers and stonework, and external door to the grounds. The hallway also leads into a delightful kitchen/dining room, with ample space for food preparation, cooking and dining including an island unit with a range of floor and wall units, Aga inset into the old Inglenook with bread oven, exposed stone walls and beams with a dining area and larder cupboards to the rear, and external door. A door leads from the kitchen down timber steps into the lounge which features engineered oak flooring, exposed beams, multi-fuel stove, underfloor heating and French doors out to the parking area. The ground floor accommodation is completed by a useful utility room, with recently installed downstairs WC and wash hand basin.
The accommodation continues to impress on the first floor, with a gorgeous master bedroom suite, comprising an en-suite shower room, boasting large corner shower, WC and wash hand basin inset into a vanity unit, as well as a walk-in wardrobe/dressing room. The landing also gives access to a good-sized airing cupboard housing the central heating boiler, and the remaining bedrooms are situated centrally, and to the north-western side of the house. There is a large double bedroom with built-in wardrobe and views to the front, a slightly smaller, but undeniably double sized bedroom with ladder style staircase leading to a converted attic space, which would make a lovely playroom or home study, or even occasional bedroom if required - it has previously housed a double bed! The guest bedroom can be found right at the end of the property, with vaulted ceiling, and built-in timber half wardrobes, as well as views to the front and the rear. The accommodation is completed on the first floor by a luxurious family bathroom, enjoying a suite of panelled bath, WC, wash hand basin and additional corner shower cubicle.
Externally, the property benefits from the aforementioned parking and turning area, recently relayed with gravel. The gardens stretch up to the side of the property, where a small copse of fruit trees leads up to the north-eastern boundary, alongside a vegetable patch. The grounds extend down to the front of the property, and a gently sloping lawn leads down to a flat area of pasture, with pond and various timber outbuildings, seating areas and various shrubs, trees and plants. Howey brook meanders along the south-western boundary, and the gardens and grounds befit a property of this stature.
