It was originally the miller’s house for Corey’s Mill, a windmill which used to stand close by, and is one of the oldest buildings in Stevenage.

It boasts many attractive period features including fine exposed timbers and truly impressive brick chimneys.

The large inglenook in the sitting room is particularly noteworthy and the fireplace in the dining room is also very handsome.

There are three good bedrooms and the house benefits from gas fired central heating.

Gates open to the tarmac driveway which provides off-street parking and leads to the detached garage.
