Magical Mill at Marstow, southwest Herefordshire

Tuck Mill, unique in name and nature, is currently a three-bedroom home, with a large studio. Launched to the market by Balfours, it comes with eight acres of pastureland and stables.

Situated at Marstow, this Mill was founded on the babbling of the Garren Brook, which in turn feeds into the River Wye, being 7 miles from the market town of Ross-on-Wye and 6 miles from Monmouth.

Scott Kemsley, partner at Balfours, enthuses: “The property has been beautifully renovated by the current owners, its stunning views and layout have a real wow factor.” A large atmospheric entrance hall featuring staircase and wood burning stove set the tone. To one side is the dining area with drawing room beyond, to the opposite side of the hall is the kitchen breakfast room and utility.

Character abounds in the dining room, linking through to the drawing room with its huge stone fireplace, woodburning stove and overhead beams and flagstone floor. It’s a limestone floor and Falcon range cooker which, together with island achieve a fresh contemporary look in the kitchen.

There are 3 double bedrooms found off the galleried landing/library are on the first floor. All are en-suite. The master room impresses with its vaulted ceiling, freestanding bath, built in wardrobes and oak floors. On the second floor is a potential 4th bedroom, currently used as a studio, with separate external access.

Scott observes: “The outside space is a total pleasure too, with formal gardens, several terraces, mill pond and weir. A summer house – with central fire pit a treat through all the seasons. For the gardener there is a vegetable garden with raised beds, greenhouse and fruit cages. Add to this some eight acres of pasture, stables, workshop and garage and you have a magical space, whether your focus is equestrian, small holding, or conservation minded.”

Just 24 miles from the M4 and 25 and 30 from Gloucester and Newport, the property is highly accessible. Balfours are marketing Tuck Mill with a guide price of £1,200,000. For more information call 01584 707100
