Curdon Mill is a handsome and impressive residence on the eastern flank of the Brendon Hills. Incorporating both Higher and Lower Curdon Mill, this property offers layer upon layer of opportunity for both business, leisure and home. Tree lined paddocks, stables, and private gardens compliment this stylishly renovated Mill.
Rarely available are properties of this outstanding grade. This imposing yet elegant 200 year old Mill, converted in 1974, has been modernised, with a classic, contemporary attention to detail, resulting in an impressive facade with a welcoming, gentle ambience. Formerly, as its name states, the old mill itself, has been integrated in to the property, encapsulated and illuminated in a glass display box, adding an historic feature to the kitchen/dining room.
The property comprises Higher and Lower Curdon Mill. Higher being a five bedroom residence and Lower a four bedroom and the potential exists to make it a single dwelling if you so desired.

Curdon Mill lies in a particularly unspoilt part of West Somerset, enjoying delightful views towards the Quantock Hills which are only one miles to the east, whilst to the west lie both the Brendon Hills and Exmoor. The North Somerset Coast is a short distance to the north. Whilst Lower Vellow is a small hamlet, the larger village of Stogumber with its parish church, inn, primary school and village store, lies about 2 miles to the south. The local county town of Williton provides further amenities to the north, about 2 miles away. Taunton, the county town of Somerset, is located about 14 miles to the south and provides comprehensive facilities including a good range of shops, excellent schools from both the state and independent sectors, a county cricket ground, golf courses and Taunton Racecourse. The M5 motorway (Junction 25) is accessed on the eastern side of Taunton and there is also a regular InterCity service to London Paddington with the fastest train taking about 1 hour 45 minutes. The riding in the area is superb with easy access to the Brendon and Quantock Hills. There is a wide range of shooting opportunities in the area and hunting with a variety of packs. There is National Hunt racing at Taunton, Wincanton and Exeter and fishing and sailing are available on the nearby Wimbleball Lake and Clatworthy Reservoir
Superb, far reaching views over the Estate, gently sloping pastureland and an abundance of well-established trees and greenery can be enjoyed from inside the property and within the grounds itself. Through a secret doorway, adjacent to the mill, you step in to a wonderfully elegant garden with high evergreen hedges, providing a private, entertaining/outdoor dining area alongside the former swimming pool, pool house and covered pagoda. Gated access from the garden leads in to the main yard of the Equestrian facilities, thus comprising a block of three stables and hay barn, workshop and garage. Ample parking and vehicular access to the front of the property and road can be gained through this land. The land comprises approximately 15 acres of pastureland and private driveway.
