Land For Sale £650,000
A rare opportunity to build a fine replacement 5 bedroom country residence set in a tranquil rural position on the Devon and Dorset borders. A semi-derelict stone miller’s house with planning permission to replace and demolish. Two stables, sizable garden, pastureland and stream frontage. In all 6.31 acres (2.55 ha).
Tuckmill Farm is nestled in a delightful rural location in the secluded Blackwater Valley with views over the surrounding countryside, in the Dorset aonb. The picturesque village of Hawkchurch has a primary school, pub, country hotel, church and recently expanded community shop. The Jurassic Coast World Heritage site and Lyme Regis are about 5 miles away. This popular resort with its famous Cobb and sand beach, provides a range of independent shops and restaurants. The market town of Axminster, home of the River Cottage Canteen and Deli plus a main line station to London Waterloo is a similar distance. It offers all of the facilities one would expect including supermarkets and recreational facilities including a sports centre as well as a swimming pool. Despite its tranquil setting this secluded retreat is well placed with excellent transport connections both east and west with the A30/A303 and the A35 coast roads. The Cathedral city of Exeter is easily accessible with its excellent shopping facilities, theatres, international airport and access to the M5.
The Property Originally part of a land grant to Newenham Abbey founded in the 13th century, Tuckmill was included in the dispersal of Viscount Bridport’s estate in the late 19th century. The property offers a unique opportunity to acquire an unspoilt former miller’s house, now in a semi-derelict state, which could be replaced by a 5 bedroom country house set in an elevated position on the plot. Largely built of local stone with some cob and mellow brick quoins under a tiled roof Tuckmill Farm contains a number of original features including an inglenook fireplace, window seat and ceiling beams. There are three bedrooms upstairs, plus an adjoining double height barn. Adjacent to the house is an open fronted timber shed. The surrounding garden is largely laid to lawn and well sheltered by mature hedges. This development opportunity with planning permission for a generous family home set in open countryside offers potential as an equine property, smallholding or a rural retreat.
