Mill, stables and acres at Marstow, 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 8 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.

Cathrine Barre, associate 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, overhead beams and flagstone floor. While it’s a limestone floor and Falcon range cooker which, together with island achieve a fresh contemporary look in the kitchen.

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

Cathrine observes: “The outside space is a total pleasure too, with formal gardens, several terraces, mill pond and the weir each contributing to the wow factor. A summer house – with central fire pit is a treat for all seasons. A vegetable garden with raised beds, greenhouse and fruit cages completes the horticultural repertoire. However, add to this 8 acres of pasture, stables, workshop and garage and you have an idyllic space, whether your focus is equestrian, small holding, or full-on conservation.”

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 £995,000. For more information call 01584 707100.
