Property Description

Leigh Mill Cottage is situated in the peaceful Hamlet of Loxbeare, nestled in the heart of a tranquil valley formed by a tributary of the River Exe surrounded by the unspoilt, rolling Mid-Devon countryside spread over 1.48 acres offering a large workshop opposite backing onto the almost level grounds.
The property is capacious and has been untouched throughout the years offering potential to improve to provide a delightful four bedroom cottage home. The accommodation leads with a stable door leading into an entrance reception room currently used as a dining room with a Rayburn and access to the kitchen and under stairs pantry with doors leading to an overly generous sitting room measuring approx. 24ft offering a traditional fireplace and French doors leading out and onto the garden terrace, external w.c.

Outside the family home there is a small walled terrace set back from the lane with courtyard entrance area. To the side the sloping garden wraps around the house and features a kitchen garden as an ideal allotment space with a range of mature shrubs, along the boundary fence with a stunning decorative water well and original miniature mill water wheel.
Opposite there is a drive for off road parking with mature shrubs and plants backing onto the stream before the gated area leading to the rustic gated bridge leading to a further large parking area for the large workshop and many outbuildings along with a charming brick-built Wendy House and pergola store.
