Detached period cottage with attached former mill and original machinery
Limebrook Mill is a substantial detached period cottage linked to a former mill, set in about 29 acres of pasture and woodland. The site offers genuine rural seclusion just outside Lingen, with ample space for smallholding, equestrian use or extensive garden landscaping. The adjoining mill and sizeable outbuildings present scope for expansion or conversion, subject to permissions.
The house retains character features such as exposed stone and timber, an inglenook fireplace and historic mill machinery, but requires extensive modernisation throughout. Services include mains electricity with private water and drainage; the walls are likely uninsulated and the property needs comprehensive refurbishment of heating, electrics and interiors.
Practical considerations are important: the property has been subject to recent flooding, mobile signal is absent, council tax is above average and part of the land is steeper in places. Despite these drawbacks, the large plot, river frontage and woodland create a rare countryside opportunity for buyers seeking privacy, land and a project with long-term potential.
This opportunity will suit purchasers prepared for renovation work and the associated costs and permissions — either a family after a rural lifestyle, a smallholding enthusiast or a buyer wanting to create a distinctive period home with ancillary income potential from the outbuildings.
