FORMER MILL

Adjoining the house the former mill is of similar construction to the farmhouse. The working area of the mill is spread over three floors. The actual water mill wheel Is no longer in existence but much of the shafts and gears which turned the millstone is still intact and would appear to be in relatively good condition. Subject to the necessary consents the mill would form an ideal subject for restoration and/or conversion.

THE FARM BUILDINGS

Adjoining the former mill is a Lean-to Pole Barn (6.20x5.40m), constructed of timber and corrugated iron with a stone retaining wall at the rear. Opposite the house on the other side of the yard is an attractive range of ‘L’ shaped traditional farm buildings comprising Hay Barn, Cow House with Calves Cott and Loose Boxes. These buildings are Grade II listed. Adjoining the eastern side of the Barn and Cow House are two buildings of more recent construction being a cattle shed of timber and corrugated iron together with a tool shed. Located just to the South of the traditional buildings is a 3 (No.) Bay Lean-to, constructed of concrete block, timber, corrugated iron with spaced boarded elevations. Adjoining this building on the southern side are 2 (No.) Pigsty’s of traditional construction. Adjacent to the council road in N.G No. 4731 is a 3 (No.) Bay Lean-to general purpose building (12.50m x 9.70m) constructed of timber and corrugated iron. In the enclosure to the west (truncated)

THE LAND

The land lies either side of the council maintained by road which intersects the holding. Such road is of a single track nature and provides useful and easy access to several of the enclosures. It should also be noted that the road only serves the neighbouring property. The lower land comprises most attractive meadow grazing which has the Lime Brook running through it. The land to the north of the homestead is steeper in places but has some level pasture land on the upper reaches. The fields to the east of the council road are either in permanent pasture or covered by attractive deciduous woodland. A stream passes through this land.

SITUATION

Limebrook Mill is situated amidst the beautiful scenic countryside of north west Herefordshire close to the Welsh border.

The renowned market town of Ludlow is some 16 miles distant whilst the pretty border town of Presteigne is only 5 miles away. The Cathedral city of Hereford lies some 24 miles to the south. Excellent primary, preparatory and secondary schools are available nearby. Although close to all the usual amenities this particular area retains a special charm due to its unique history, geography and unspoilt nature. what3words//zoned.completed.drop
