Description
With the open plan lounge and dining room and the modern kitchen, the ground floor is the perfect place to entertain guests, all with the ambience of the historic mill workings. Upstairs are three comfortable and character-filled bedrooms, and the lower ground offers extensive additional space for storage or additional accommodation, subject to the necessary consents.
Location: The property is located on the edge of the picturesque village of South Tawton, and the villages of South Zeal and amenity-rich Sticklepath are just beyond. The town of Okehampton is just over 5 miles away and offers a range of shops and services, including 3 supermarkets and rail connectivity to Exeter and then on to London Paddington.
Accommodation: Upon entering the property, one immediately feels the sense of history with the internal mill workings and characterful beams being a real show piece. There is a spacious triple aspect lounge with a wood burner that provides a warm and inviting place to relax, and connected to the lounge is the open plan dining area with the mill workings adjacent. Beyond the dining room is the modern cottage kitchen with extensive cupboards and wood block worktops and space for breakfast table or kitchen island.
Upstairs are well 3 proportioned bedrooms with vaulted ceilings and character features, and a large family bathroom with bath and separate shower cubicle. In addition, the lower ground floor provides extensive storage space and has the potential to convert to additional accommodation, subject to the necessary consents.
Outside: The grounds of this lovely property are equally as impressive as the cottage itself, with stunning formal gardens just across the lane, with lawns, well stocked flower and shrub beds, vegetable patch, mature shrub and tree borders and a summer house and potting shed.
Adjoing the gardens are an attractive woodland with the mill leat running through, and beyond the woodland is a gently sloping field (of approx 3.5 acres) and an orchard, neither or which have had any chemical treatment employed for at least 20 years, plus a modern 3 bay timber barn of approximately 45 ft x 20 ft.
To the rear of the cottage is a further garden which contains the mill wheel that we understand is functional.
