AN IDYLIC existence is just one of the things on offer to whoever buys this converted watermill near Pocklington.

The Old Mill, in Bielby, has charm, character, plenty of space and a separate three-bedroom cottage within the grounds.

As if that wasn't enough, it also boasts beautiful views, attractive landscaped gardens and a stream flowing at the bottom of the garden.

Inside, this spacious three-storey family home has six bedrooms, five reception rooms and four bathrooms.

There is a dining room, a games room with stone flooring, a snug with an open brick fireplace and exposed roof beams and a study with a wood-burning stove and oak flooring.

Other features include an L-shaped conservatory, a living room with parquet-style flooring and a newly-fitted modern dining kitchen with a stable door, wall and base units and work surfaces. There is space for a double gas oven, dishwasher and fridge too.

The living room lies on the first floor, with windows overlooking the stream.

Three of the bedrooms are close by, alongside a newly-fitted Victorian-style bathroom suite with a claw foot bath and a grand pedestal wash hand basin.

The remaining three bedrooms - including the master bedroom with a dressing room and en-suite - are on the second floor, near the second bathroom.

Meanwhile, the cottage boasts a newly-fitted kitchen with an integrated electric oven, a utility area with matching fitted wall and base units, a bathroom, a lounge/diner with patio doors to the gardens, two bathrooms and three-bedrooms - two with exposed beams and one with an en-suite.
