Set within the attractive village of Bampton, Manor Mill House is a substantial, characterful former mill offering generous family accommodation across basement, ground and first floors. The home preserves dramatic historic features — including mill stones and the original water wheel — while providing practical spaces such as a large kitchen with island, separate dining room and a useful utility with garden access. The principal bedroom benefits from an ensuite and dressing area, and two further double bedrooms provide flexible family sleeping arrangements.
Outside, the mature rear garden is a true selling point: a sizable, enclosed plot with lawn, ornamental pond and a detached summer house/garden room ideal for home working or hobbies. The property’s stone walls, slate roofs and multi-wing footprint give it strong period character and good separation of living spaces, making it appealing for buyers seeking a distinctive village home with privacy and outdoor space.
Important practical points are presented plainly. The house is heated by an oil-fired boiler and the solid brick walls are assumed to lack modern insulation — buyers should expect energy-efficiency improvements may be needed. The property sits in a location with a high flood risk; prospective purchasers should obtain flood-risk and insurance advice. Services include mains electric, water and drainage, and Ofcom records a superfast broadband connection (about 76 Mbps), though actual speeds can vary locally.
This home will suit families or buyers prioritising character and garden space, and those prepared to carry out targeted upgrades for comfort and efficiency. The village location places everyday amenities, primary schooling and local shops within walking distance, while Tiverton and major road links lie a short drive away.
