Earlscombe Mill is a detached Victorian mill conversion set over three levels, offering flexible family accommodation with strong period character. The top-floor open-plan kitchen and living area is a striking, light-filled space with high ceilings, original beams and large skylights; low-level windows frame the rural outlook. The property currently provides four double bedrooms, two bathrooms and a lower-ground annexe-style area with a utility room and wet-room ensuite — useful for multi-generational living or home-working.
Outside, the house sits on a large sheltered plot with a gravelled parking and turning area, detached double garage and an enclosed lawned garden with mature trees and a courtyard seating area. Multiple external access points to each floor add practical flexibility for independent living arrangements or letting opportunities. The property is freehold and not listed.
Buyers should note a few practical constraints: broadband speeds are very slow and mobile coverage is only average due to the rural location. Heating is by oil-fired boiler and radiators (oil is the main fuel), and drainage is shared private drainage; these factors may influence running costs and require buyer due diligence. Council Tax sits above average (Band E).
This home will suit families, multi-generational households or those seeking a substantial character property in the South Hams countryside. It offers immediate comfort and plenty of scope to adapt or update services and finishes to personal taste, though anyone prioritising high-speed connectivity or mains drainage should investigate local provision before committing.
