Set on the edge of Meavy within Dartmoor National Park, this extended former mill offers a rare village lifestyle with open countryside on the doorstep. The main house provides three double bedrooms and a characterful living space anchored by original mill timbers and a log-burning stove. A bright garden room with bifold doors opens to a sheltered courtyard and lawn, ideal for family use and outdoor play.
A self-contained, two-bedroom annexe (formerly the stables) broadens the property's appeal, whether for multi-generational living, holiday letting potential, or additional income. The annexe has planning consent for ancillary use but is in need of refurbishment, giving an opportunity to renovate to personal taste.
Practical drawbacks are material and factual: the whole property requires renovation in places, the EPC is low (Band F), and asbestos panelling is present in some walls and ceilings and will need professional removal. Heating is oil-fired with a Rayburn and separate electric heating in the annexe; prospective buyers should factor ongoing fuel costs and potential upgrades. Broadband and mobile signals are limited locally.
Outside, the mature, large plot features a walled courtyard with original mill wheels, a lawn crossed by the historic mill leat, stone workshop, timber shed with power, and open garage parking. Chain-free freehold sale and a peaceful hamlet setting make this a compelling option for buyers seeking a character home in a protected rural location, with clear scope to add value through careful renovation.
