Situation - Nymet Mill Farm is in an absolutely wonderful setting in the Taw Valley, surrounded by stunning, unspoilt countryside of rolling hills and wooded valleys. The local village of Lapford is only two miles away and offers a good range of amenities, including an excellent village shop/garage, post office, pubs, primary school and pre-school. There is also a railway station on the Tarka Line between Barnstaple and Exeter. The market town of Crediton (10 miles) has a larger range of facilities including shopping, schooling and recreational amenities. The university and Cathedral City of Exeter lies some 17 miles away and has a wealth of facilities befitting a centre of its importance including excellent shopping, dining, theatre and recreational pursuits. There are two mainline railway stations at Exeter on the London Waterloo and Paddington lines, and Exeter International Airport is within easy reach.
Description - Nymet Mill itself was originally a corn mill, last believed to be in use around the early 20th Century. The mill and adjoining miller's cottage have been amalgamated and converted to provide the current, extensive living accommodation which could easily be utilised for dual family accommodation if required. There is a handy range of buildings which offer much scope for a wide variety of uses including conversion to residential use (subject to the necessary consents).
Accommodation - An open PORCH with stable type front door leads into a RECEPTION HALL with slate floor, exposed ceiling beams and feature mill gearing. To the left a passageway with wide window overlooking the original mill wheel leads to a BEDROOM and an adjacent SHOWER ROOM. Off the hall, stairs lead to a large, open plan KITCHEN/LIVING ROOM with triple aspect views over the gardens and river, stone fireplace with wood burning stove. Glazed double doors lead onto a paved terrace with a lovely outlook across the river. The kitchen area has fitted modern units with wooden worktops and integrated appliances include an oven and hob as well as a stainless steel sink. Off this open plan room is a double BEDROOM with built-in wardrobes and an EN-SUITE BATHROOM.
The DINING ROOM has an oak floor and a stone fireplace with bread oven and wood burning stove. Steps lead into the second KITCHEN with oak floor, oil fired Aga, oak fronted modern units with worktops over and ceramic sink.
