Bath 13 miles. Frome 4 miles. Babington House 3 miles. London (Paddington) from 86 minutes from Bath Spa and (Waterloo) from 90 minutes from Warminster.
DESCRIPTION From the village bridge a pair of stone gate pillars mark the entrance to Ironstone Mill. A long drive, bordered by a lawned bank and the River Mells leads to the house. There is a large garage and an outbuilding at the rear of the property. The main gardens are on the eastern side of the house. Lawn and perennial borders envelope the ruins of the original mill building which form part of the property. For many years the previous owners presented Operas and Recitals the garden. A two storey summer house complete with terrace provides the perfect place to enjoy the garden and its riverside setting. The house is constructed of stone elevations under a tiled roof. The facade enjoys a southern aspect and a broad deck extends above the river. Internally the ground floor rooms flow informally from one to another with wide openings between the sitting room, kitchen/living room and dining room. The Drawing room has two pairs of French doors opening onto both the deck and the garden. There are open fireplaces in the Drawing Room and the Kitchen/Living room and large windows provide delightful views. There are three bedrooms, an occasional fourth bedroom and there is a bathroom on the first floor and a shower room on the second floor. Cellars run beneath the house. It may be possible to enhance the property by extending over the large roof terrace and by adding a Hydro power plant within the former mill (both subject to gaining the necessary consents). The location is idyllic and has a magical feel and this is enhanced by the charm and informal nature of the accommodation available at Ironstone Cottage. SITUATION Situated on the edge of the picturesque village of Great Elm, Ironstone Cottage enjoys a riverside setting close to the village duck pond and its neighbouring woodland. The property enjoys views over the River Mells which runs through the Mells Valley on the eastern edge of the village. Good local schools are numerous and include King Edward’s School, Kingswood School,
The Royal High School. Prior Park College and Monkton Combe School in Bath. Badminton School and Clifton High School are both found in Bristol. The Wells Cathedral School is about 15 miles, Millfield school is 22 miles and Downside School is 7 miles. The local town of Frome is a delightful combination and a large dose of Somerset mysticism. Babington House Country Club (4 miles) is a popular Private members club offering many recreational and leisure facilities. The neighbouring village of Mells offers a Post office general store and the renowned Talbot Public House. There is excellent walking and riding country in the beautiful countryside surrounding the property. DIRECTIONS From the small village green at the centre of Great Elm travel south and proceed down hill to the duck pond. Before crossing the bridge turn left and pass through the gates marked Ironstone Cottage.
