House For Sale £600,000
Charming former mill house with mill leat stream and attached barn suitable for conversion (STPP), situated in a most picturesque setting within the popular Exe Valley village of Cove with easy access to M5/ Tiverton Parkway.
Situated in the beautiful Exe Valley, Mill House is approached by a quiet lane in the small, popular village of Cove, just 4 miles north of Tiverton and 2.5 miles from the charming country village of Bampton. Both centres provide an excellent selection of local amenities with Tiverton offering a wide range of shops and supermarkets including an M&S Food Hall. Quick access to the M5 motorway via the A361 North Devon link road, with Exeter to the south and Bristol to the north, and Tiverton Parkway railway station provides regular services to London Paddington in approximately 2 hours. Highly regarded primary schools close by include Bampton and Bolham and the property is within the 10 mile discount radius of the renowned Blundell's School in Tiverton. The area offers superb walking, riding and cycling routes with the beautiful Exmoor National Park to the north and the rugged North Devon coastline to the northwest.
Mill House is a most attractive, stone built property believed to date from the mid nineteenth century. Once a mill for milling corn, within the grounds is the pretty mill stream and the remains of the former mill building which would have housed the water wheel. This wonderful family home is full of character with well proportioned and beautifully presented accommodation with a southerly outlook over the pretty gardens to the front. The ground floor comprises a pretty entrance porch and entrance hall, sitting room with woodburning stove, a further living room with inglenook fireplace and woodburning stove and leading off is a dining room/ study with stable door to the terrace and grounds. The delightful kitchen/breakfast room is fitted with ample units with wooden worktops and includes a double oven, electric Aga, ceramic sink, space for dishwasher and space for fridge/freezer. The utility room is beautifully fitted with units incorporating a Belfast sink, space for washing machine and door to outside. Cloakroom with space for a tumble dryer, wall mounted boiler. Oak stairs lead to the first floor landing and the four double bedrooms (each with fitted hanging and shelved cupboards) and the master with an en-suite shower room. The spacious family bathroom includes a freestanding bath and separate shower. Adjoining the property to the rear is a stone built barn with a workshop on the ground floor and stairs to a storage room with windows and two velux roof lights on the first floor. The barn provides potential for conversion to an annexe or holiday let, subject to planning.
Outside, the gardens provide a lovely, tranquil setting with a gently sloping south facing lawned garden to the front and a further area of lawned garden on the other side of the leat. The driveway leads through a five bar gate to the parking area with ample space for several vehicles. There is a west facing patio area which leads off the family room, and a seating area beside the leat. Leading off the utility room is a useful covered area, ideal for drying clothes. The old mill leat passes through the western edge of the gardens, set behind a stone wall and down a gentle bank, providing an idyllic place for children to paddle or to catch the occasional trout.
Services: Mains electricity and water. Private drainage. Oil-fired cental heating.<br /><br />
