TUCK Mill enjoys a tranquil location some six miles south-west of the market town of Ross-on-Wye.

The property takes its name from fulling or tucking, which was a step in woollen cloth making. The earliest known reference to a fulling mill is in Normandy, dating from about 1086.

The oldest part of the property is believed to date from late 16th or early 17th century with various additions over the years including a single-storey extension about 20 years ago. The current owners have undertaken extensive refurbishment, all of which has respected the age and character.

All principal room dimensions are generous, and virtually every room has windows to two elevations, almost all rooms benefiting from a gorgeous outlook.

Constructed of mellow brick and local sandstone, the property benefits from a vast flagstone sun terrace, and the outlook across the millpond and gardens enables the observation of a prodigious variety of wild birds, including kingfishers.

Otters have also been sighted occasionally.

Outbuildings include a double garage and workshop block, a carport/stable block, summer house, chicken run, brick built workshop and garden store.

There are ancient fishing rights on the Garron brook and in total the property and paddocks extend to approximately eight acres.
