On the market for the first time in over 70 years, Eddells Mill is an enchanting 16th century mill house in a wonderful waterside location with a well-established garden. Currently with four bedrooms, three reception rooms and a bathroom, it offers a rare opportunity for sympathetic renovation to create a very special family home in an appealing corner of the Cotswolds.
This authentic property is packed with period character including the Mill Room, now converted into a vaulted drawing room complete with minstrel's gallery, window seats, an inglenook fireplace, a walk-in pantry and an oak balcony walkway.
Sitting in a peaceful and rural setting of some 4.6 acres, there is a range of outbuildings including a stone stable and an annexe that would be perfect for independent living, a wooden stable, fenced paddocks, an orchard with apple, pear and plum trees as well as the beautiful mature waterside gardens and grounds overlooking the Painswick Stream.
Southwest-facing and set back from a quiet country lane, the mature garden comprises lawns with herbaceous borders, Cotswold stone walling and the former mill stone now a water feature. There is an underground apple store which may have been a former icehouse, and with the original mill pond fed by the Painswick Stream.
Starting life as a corn mill, Eddells Mill later became a cloth (woollen) mill and was put up for sale in 1797 with 6 acres and outbuildings at a time when Painswick produced many of the uniforms for the British Army. It was converted into a house in 1926.

It is the largest designated Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty in England and Wales, and very roughly starts to the east of Gloucester and Cheltenham in the west, runs up to just below Evesham in the north, includes parts of West Oxfordshire where Burford is known as the Gateway to the Cotswolds, and south to the Cotswold Water Park a few miles beyond Cirencester, the former Roman city and Capital of the Cotswolds.
With excellent road and rail communications - London, Bristol and Birmingham are all around an hour by train - the area has become popular with those moving out of the city or wanting second homes to escape at weekends.
