A four-bedroom period house with an orangery, swimming pool and converted windmill in its grounds has come up for sale in Scole, near Diss, for £800,000.
Set in around an acre of grounds, Mill House is unlisted and benefits from a host of character features as well as multiple outbuildings offering a combined 3,544 sq ft of accommodation including the main house.
Walking through the porch in the entrance to Mill House, the first room is the spacious dining room, which has a brick chimney and wood-burning stove as well as stairs to the upper floor.
The dining room also provides access to a drawing room, living room with fireplace and double doors to the outside, the kitchen, a boiler/storage room and a useful utility room and bathroom.

The kitchen has a charming countryside feel with light units, a flint feature wall, range-style cooker and an island/breakfast bar. It leads through to the orangery, which lets in loads of natural light and has a characterful exposed brick and flint wall.
Beyond the orangery is an outdoor swimming pool and summer house which could benefit from updating. Upstairs, there are four good-sized bedrooms and a family bathroom with a bath, separate shower, wash basin and WC.
The secluded and well-stocked gardens are home to a variety of mature shrubs and trees and have been cleverly planted to provide different areas of interest. The sellers have even created a mini arboretum with a range of specimen trees.

The property also boasts a detached double garage and parking for several cars.
