On the outskirts of London in Denham, a lovely village just a 20-minute drive away from Windsor and Heathrow Airport, there’s a splendid country home new to market. Ideal for buyers seeking a historic England estate with deep-rooted charm, Wellers Mead hasn’t been for sale in almost 50 years and is asking £3.55 million, roughly $4.8 million USD.
Centered by a 6,827-square-foot former mill house, the dashing property has been residential for roughly 100 years now. Centuries before that, the land was used for corn milling until the structure you see today was built in the 1700s. Situated on River Misbourne, it was long used as a steam and water powered mill from then on. Rector Mr. Battisford then converted the mill into a home in the 1920s with the help of local architect, Francis Bacon, and it has been beautifully cared for since.
The seven-bedroom, Dutch-inspired manor and its surrounding gardens have inspired awe for years and are the picture of countryside tranquility. In fact, when the current sellers purchased it in 1975, there was a bidding war in which Oscar-winning British actor Sir John Mills vied for the property as well. Mills didn’t prevail, but the homeowners did often invite him to use the indoor pool and spa they installed.
Available for the first time since they acquired it, and the second time since it became a residence, Wellers Mead may not be on the market long. Especially when you see the elegantly maintained spaces inside, the vegetable and flower gardens, and the delightful river views.
