A picturesque mill for sale in Staffordshire, with eclectic interiors and gorgeous grounds

Period charm meets contemporary living at Grade II-listed Chorlton Mill, in Staffordshire, a historic property that's especially well suited to entertaining.

There’s absolutely no trouble at Chorlton Mill, near Newcastle-under-Lyme. Quite the opposite, in fact, as this five-bedroom former mill house, which is for sale at £1.35 million, is an eclectic family home set in six acres of prime Staffordshire countryside and listed Grade II.

Chorlton Mill interiors

Approached by a private gated driveway, the 4,210sq ft property, which dates from about 1850, boasts a resplendent mix of landscapes, with a gorgeous rolling lawn, pond and mix of mature shrubs and trees around the property, plus fields and paddock beyond. There’s also an open terrace that’s perfect for alfresco dining.

Chorlton Mill kitchen

The interiors are just as appealing, with an eccentric combination of period features and modern touches: feature beams, fine fireplaces and the dining room’s vaulted ceiling coexist happily with the sleek contemporary kitchen.
