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. on the ground floor. The first floor continues to flow with four bedrooms including a dual aspect main bedroom and a family bathroom.
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. Beyond the outbuildings is a large level area of lawn, which could make a small paddock with a secondary access from the lane.
The grounds are spread over 1.48 acres and is situated outside of the conservation area that offers the flexibility of working from home or the possibility of an additional residential dwelling (STPP) that would offer stunning countryside views.
The workshop was previously used for horticultural repairs along with two further large store buildings, one of which extends to the first floor and a double garage/carport offers further large store buildings. Further outbuildings include a play house that is ideal for children to play while opening up onto level grounds of over an acre providing lovely countryside views in the distant with a pergola store and rear entrance gate for vehicular access.
