Bickleigh Mill is situated in a picturesque location alongside the River Exe in the Exe Valley just 10 miles from Junction 28 of the M5 and 4 miles South of Tiverton. Tiverton mainline railway station connects to London Paddington and Penzance and the nearest international airport is just a short drive away in Exeter.
The Opportunity
Bickleigh Mill enjoys strong trade throughout the year. The licensed restaurant has a cosy and homely feel, the loyal lunchtime customers enjoy the freshly prepared lunches, dinners, lite bites and fantastic coffees and teas. The retail area offers a wide range of gifts, accessories, homeware and childrens toys sourced locally and worldwide.
In the Old Corn Loft you will find the childrens section plus jewellery and accessories, kitchen and homeware and other quality ranges.
There is a superb opportunity to develop the business further using the untouched land surrounding The Mill. Subject to the necessary consents, The Mill would make a stunning outdoor wedding venue. The access to the River Exe which comes with the ownership of Bickleigh Mill can be utilised further for water sports such as kayaking and other outward-bound enthusiasts. There is a superb opportunity to develop the business further by offering evening dining and using the untouched land. Other uses for the land could include developing glamping facilities, crazy golf or several other leisure facilities all subject to planning consent.
