Enjoy gardens, water meadows and landscapes which inspired painter Sir Alfred Munnings born here in the Miller’s House in 1878 and who became President of the Royal Academy. (Munnings is subject of the film Summer in February, UK cinema release date 14th June 2013) His birthplace and home, The Miller’s House (4 bedrooms, 3 bathrooms), with its classical proportions and large Georgian windows provides stunning views over the grounds and river and also offers a secure ‘child-friendly’ courtyard as well as a riverside garden. There is a choice of 2 bedroom cottages: The Lodge set in an enormous ½ acre walled garden and Mill Race Cottage with its beautiful plantsman’s garden with award-winning and rare plants stretching alongside 100 metres of riverbank. The one bedroom ‘Nest’ with a terrace directly over the mill steam is ideal for couples and comes complete with a modern, recital quality grand piano!
