Kate Bush's former country home was once a Georgian paper mill – the quaint, historic home is listed for approximately $14.2 million

Georgian properties are abundant in the UK, where the storied design originated from – however, not many of these preserved houses can count iconic British songwriter and "Running Up That Hill" singer Kate Bush among their inhabitants.

A house in Theale, Reading, in the West Berkshire region just so happens to have belonged to the musician at one point (in fact, she even repurposed part of the home to work as a recording studio), and now, it can belong to anyone for £11,500,000 (approximately $14.2 million) Listed with Strutt & Parker, the nine-bed, seven-bath house is located on a sprawling 22.54 acres of land.

Built in 1800, the Georgian home is full of historic charm, though it comes outfitted with underfloor heating, a triple garage, two separate ancillary properties, and a riverside garden. Let's take a closer look.

The Grade II, red brick build is located on the River Kennet, where it used to run as a Georgian paper mill, the ruins of which can still be found on the original property.

Arched entryways, white tiled floors, and wood furniture make the space feel grand yet cozy, with the natural materials adding texture and character to the space.

A Georgian home wouldn't be complete without a sitting room, and this one is primed with a working fireplace, large windows, and ample room for large sofas and coffee tables.

The kitchen, meanwhile, opts for marble countertops, Gaggenenau appliances, and a mix of unpainted wood and blue-painted cabinets. The blue paint adds a nice pop of color to the otherwise neutral space. There is also a second prep kitchen for additional space when hosting a large group of guests.

The primary bedroom features minimalist decor, with lush curtains and a wooden bed giving the space a regal feel.

One of the highlights of the property is its organgery, which can be viewed and accessed from a sitting/dining area that features a TV, sofas, and round table. The glass extension measures at nearly 1200 square feet, providing magnificent views of the gardens and river.

The home library is a book-lover's dream, featuring floor-to-ceiling, wood shelves and leather armchairs.

With 75-foot steel and tile footbridge reaching across the river (which you can fish from, by the way), exploration is encouraged on this massive property.
