Delightful Country Lane Setting. Nestled on the edge of Bramshill Forest, with over 1,600 acres of beautiful, protected woodland to enjoy.
This charming period cottage offers exceptional styling & finish, secluded sunny gardens, and breath-taking views throughout the changing seasons.
New Mill Cottage has been painstakingly restored and remodelled over recent years to provide a country home feel with plenty of original character, sympathetic upgrades, and twists of modern comfort throughout. This has resulted in spacious living, with thoughtful attention to natural light, garden design, and energy efficiency. The detailing and quality finishes are exceptional.
The kitchen is both practical and beautiful - there's a glazed door entrance (where friends, dogs, and family will arrive), and a very warm welcome by the dual fuel Aga. The breakfast bar seats three stools around its wooden 'table-top', and the open dining / family room is ideal for meals and entertaining. The vaulted ceiling and architectural beams add striking character to the kitchen, and the glass roof lantern and bi-fold doors (which open to a south-westerly facing sun terrace) bring swathes of natural light into this whole family space.
Adding to the homeliness, there's piped under-floor heating in the kitchen, utility / laundry lobby, and the downstairs bathroom.
The dining hall has classic herringbone timber flooring, a feature fireplace, and internal door to the porch lobby. The gabled front porch houses plenty of space for wellies, with a handsome tongue & groove timber door to greet visitors.
The living room features a substantial bay window and fireplace with wood-burning stove. This room is large enough to zone with a cosy seating arrangement around the fireplace, and perhaps a study or hobby area overlooking the lane.
All three upstairs bedrooms are double in size, and each has its own character. Both the Master bedroom and bedroom Two have beautiful views of the fields across the lane, and the Master has air-conditioning for hot summer nights.
The family bathroom has a spa-like feel, with its roll-top bath tub, elegant basin, and extra wide shower enclosure.
This home has a plenty of gravel driveway parking and a detached brick garage with smart double doors, power supply, and a pitched tiled roof.
The garden office is tucked in the far corner of the garden, and has its own sun terrace / patio area for much-needed work & screen breaks! This 155 sq ft office is well insulated, has plenty of windows and a dual air-conditioning / heating unit.
New Mill Cottage is equipped with PV solar panels (discreetly mounted on the cottage, cabin and garage roofs). We understand this has significantly reduced the running costs of this home, and this is borne out in the very respectable (74 / C) Energy Performance Rating.
The gardens have been nurtured and designed to make the most of the peaceful setting and various sun-spots.
This home has a log store, water softener and PV solar panels. We also understand the boiler is around two years old.
Ultrafast Broadband Availability - Download speeds up to 1800Mbps, Upload speeds up to 220Mbps.

PLEASE NOTE - NEW MILL LANE IS NOT ACCESSIBLE THROUGH NEW MILL ROAD FROM THE NORTH (AS YOU WILL FIND A FORD), SO ACCESS FROM WARBROOK LANE AND LOWER COMMON.
If driving by, please note that opposite the cottage there is a temporary wooden gate leading across the field to a nearby property.
This entrance has planning permission as a temporary accesss only, and will be removed / green space restored, once works to their property are complete. We understand there is little to no impact on New Mill Cottage itself (either now, nor once the works are complete).
A Few Words about the area from Quarters
"This idyllic location is perfect for a peaceful rural lifestyle - with vast woodland walks to explore by foot - yet is only ten minutes drive to Waitrose in Yateley, and a similar distance to the vibrant village of Hartley Wintney.
Just 300 yards walk to the end of the lane is a quiet entrance to Bramshill Forest. This vast woodland is a protected SSSI (Site of Specific Scientific Interest), and is ideal for horse-riding, jogging, cycling, dog-walking or just simply taking a stroll to unwind.
Set in the countryside, yet surprisingly close to some wonderful pubs by foot (around 20 minutes / 2km across some lovely fields), so just perfect for an evening meal without a designated driver!
Please get in touch with Quarters Estate Agents, Wokingham for more details or to discuss viewing arrangements for this beautiful home."
