"A Grade II Listed watermill, active from 12th century until mid 20th century, with a courtyard setting, versatile outbuildings and far-reaching countryside views "

The Property
Situated on Warks Burn within a sheltered and exceptionally private and peaceful valley, Ramshaw Mill is a sensitively restored and substantial Grade II Listed stone-built watermill that is centred around a gravelled courtyard. The property also has a detached Hemmel and a spacious barn. The approach reveals a house of quiet presence, where traditional elevations, climbing greenery and carefully arranged gardens establish an immediate sense of place, framed by open countryside and mature woodland beyond.

The house opens into a generous reception hall, a space that sets the tone for what follows, both in scale and atmosphere. Exposed stone walls and timber beams are consistent throughout, while the layout moves naturally between a series of well-proportioned reception rooms. The principal sitting room is particularly comfortable, centred around a Jotul wood burning stove and softened by natural light, offering a space that feels equally suited to everyday use or quieter evenings. Beyond, a separate living room provides a more intimate alternative, while a further reception room, currently arranged as a playroom/games room, introduces an element of flexibility, easily adapted depending on requirements.

A second kitchen is positioned alongside the garden room, where the layout opens more directly to the outside. This space, centred around a 4 oven, red Aga, connects naturally to the glazed garden room, which brings in a greater sense of light and outlook, with doors opening onto the patio with a firepit which provides an easy transition between inside and out. A separate scullery and laundry room sit just beyond, offering further practicality and flexibility.

Upstairs, the bedroom accommodation is arranged across two levels and offers both flexibility and a clear sense of separation between spaces. The principal suite is positioned apart from the three other bedrooms, creating a more private arrangement. It incorporates a well-proportioned bedroom with its own en suite shower room, along with an adjoining drawing room, providing a quiet, self-contained retreat within the house.

Elsewhere on this level, three further bedrooms are arranged along the landing, each enjoying a pleasant outlook over the surrounding grounds, with a dressing room adding to the practicality of the layout. The family bathroom is generously sized and includes a freestanding bath, echoing the character and proportions found throughout the house.

The main kitchen and dining space is arranged with a practical clarity, centred around a 3 oven, cream Aga and framed by views across the garden. The proportions allow for a full dining arrangement, with natural light drawn in from multiple aspects, creating a room that works well for both everyday use and more relaxed gatherings. An adjoining scullery provides additional workspace and storage, supporting the day-to-day functioning of the kitchen while keeping the main room clear and well organised.

Two additional bedrooms are positioned within the upper level, offering further capacity for family or guests.

This part of the accommodation could offer a more self-contained section of the house, incorporating a sitting room, kitchen/dining room, bedroom, study area and shower room. This arrangement works well for guests or extended family, providing a degree of independence without losing connection to the to the rest of the house.

Externally
The gardens and grounds are a defining feature, thoughtfully arranged to create a series of distinct yet connected spaces. A gravelled courtyard sits at the centre, providing ample parking and forming a natural focal point beside the house. Lawned areas extend outwards, including an orchard, established planting and stone-walled boundaries that frame the setting, with a one acre (approx) field beyond. Terraces and seating areas are positioned to take advantage of the aspect, offering both sheltered and open areas for entertaining or quiet enjoyment.

The outbuildings provide significant additional space, including stores and ancillary rooms that lend themselves to a variety of uses, whether for storage, workshop space or potential further development, subject to the necessary consents. The overall setting is private and well considered, with the surrounding landscape contributing to a sense of seclusion while remaining accessible.
