Natson Mill
Natson Mill is an extraordinary property, nestled down its own private
lane and set well within its own land. The property enjoys an almost
magical setting on the banks of the River Yeo. This country home is
perfect for those seeking privacy, peace and quiet and wishing to enjoy
all the trappings of country life. The principle farmhouse is a traditional
Devon Longhouse, and is believed to date back to the 17th century.
However, Natson is an ancient settlement, even with an entry in the
1086 Doomsday book. The Deeds from 1851 still survive from when
the Mill (now Cottage) and the Miller's House (now The Farmhouse)
were sold as "Natson Mills". Previous owners are rumoured to be a
Peruvian Ambassador and a Vogue Photographer and descendants
from other owners have visited from far flung parts of the globe with
old pictures and paintings of the property dating back to the 19th
century. The property enjoys a courtyard setting with the stone stables
and barns. From here there is direct access to the paddocks, extensive
gardens and arboretum with further generous agricultural barn tucked
away from the Farmhouse.

The Cottage
Currently used as a business premise, but originally an old Water Mill. This
charming stone building retains some original features from when it
was as a working mill, and the outlet to the mill leat still runs through
the garden. The Mill would have most likely been taken out of service
during the first world war and it was restored completely in the 1980's
into a holiday cottage. The present owner added further additions
in the early 2000's to ensure it could function as a business premises with a
studio, and the property benefits from full structured cabling for phone
and internet.

• Former holiday rental cottage (now business use)
•Three ground floor rooms

Towards the western end of Natson Mill, there is a small lake which
serves both to aid drainage and as a wildlife area, attracting an
abundance of wildlife including a family of geese, who now swim with
their growing brood of six. Bordering the land there are about 500-
1000 trees in total, the oldest are believed to date back over 150 years.
Some breath-taking trees that are situated within the tranquil arboretum
include Paperback and Norway Maple, Acer palmatum, Silver Maple,
Purple Beech, Tulip Leaf Tree, Bamboo Oak, Bay, Horse Chestnut
and many more. To the East of The Farmhouse sits a well-established
orchard which enjoys an array of fruit trees consisting of Apples, Pears,
