North Mill Place

Halstead | Essex

A converted mill in a quintessentially-English town

North Mill Place is a fascinating place to live, built on the site of a mill that was operated by the same family for 250 years and with many of the original buildings and pieces of machinery still preserved, including the millstone. Converted period buildings face the old mill yard and there are two- and three-bedroom cottages built in the former paddock, now a delightful courtyard with a magnificent lawn and a pond.

Halstead is a quintessential English country town on the Essex/Suffolk border. The high street has excellent shops, offering two supermarkets, a delicatessen, a number of independent retailers, several banks, a leisure centre with a swimming pool, a library and a range of restaurants, pubs and cafés. There is also a theatre, the Queens Hall, and the public gardens play host to various band concerts all through the summer. Two golf clubs are close by and ramblers are well-served by a river walk that runs through the town. Marks Hall Gardens and Arboretum, just eight miles down the road, features an impressive global tree collection set in more than 200 acres of historic landscape, and the 110-foot Norman keep at Hedingham Castle and the luxurious traditional mansion at Kentwell Hall are also near by.

Cotswold Gardens

Broadway sits at the foot of the Cotswold escarpment in a beautiful landscape with the main high street running gently down the final slope to meet the green by the Lygon Arms Hotel. It is full of handsome eighteenth century houses set back from the road built in mellow Cotswold stone with a honey coloured texture creating a picture postcard world. Broadway Tower at the top of Broadway Hill affords fine views across the Vale of Evesham and on a fine day many counties can be seen.
