Nicholls Lane, Oulton ST15

Welcome to Hayes Mill, once an 18th-century flint mill, now thoughtfully transformed into a stunning blend of heritage and modern living. This extensively renovated, entirely unique, Grade II listed detached home takes you back in time. From original stonework and exposed timber beams to the well-kept remains of the old mill mechanisms and a beautifully preserved well, these historic features offer a living story woven into the fabric of this home. Kicking off this home tour, you enter into an expansive, open-plan kitchen/dining area, boasting ample cabinetry space, a generously sized island, and integrated appliances including a full-height fridge and freezer, dishwasher, steam oven, double oven, and a warming drawer. Plus, the dining space offers a view to the sun-filled courtyard with the amazingly preserved mill within sight. Continue through the home, where you will find two open-plan living spaces, featuring exposed brick, further views of the mill, and a log burner, perfect for relaxing after a long day. The entire ground floor features underfloor heating, making this home as practical as it is unique. Further, you’ll find a reception area that would be perfect as a home office or a reading snug, plus the convenience of a W/C. Follow up the stonework steps and you will find yourself in the mill room, a fully preserved space with remnants of the mill. This floor offers access to the preserved mill, which is now perfectly serving as a formal dining space, a fun conversation starter for guests! Continue to the upper floor, home to three generously sized double bedrooms and a bathroom with a freestanding roll-top bathtub and a separate shower. This floor offers a second access into the property, leading to a driveway with off-road parking. Up again is the master bedroom, complete with its own floor and the most magnificent, exposed timber beams you have ever seen. Outside, South-East gardens await with lush grass lawns, decked seating areas overlooking the river, and a serene, yet well-connected setting. The driveway spaces offer ample off-road parking for several vehicles, and iron gates protect this home’s privacy. Located in the beautiful village of Oulton in the Modershall Valley conservation, you are nearby Oulton First School, The Brushmakers Arms, and Oulton Village Hall. Plus, you’re a couple of minutes’ drive into Stone’s busy centre, and you are within easy reach of excellent schools, shops, supermarkets, eateries, and much more. Travel has never been easier with the nearby A34, A51 and Stone train station. This is more than a home; it’s a conversation piece, a legacy, and a true celebration of craftsmanship, both past and present. A truly rare opportunity to own a slice of history, completely redefined for modern family life.
