A substantial Grade II Listed former water mill ideal for redevelopment with outbuildings and parking. For sale by Online Auction
Situation - The Mill occupies a very convenient position in Dulverton town within easy walking distance of all local amenities. Dulverton is a delightful small town, which is nestled in the Barle Valley and is well known as The Gateway to Exmoor. It has a strong community and provides good day to day shopping together with three churches, a post office, chemist, medical, dental and veterinary surgeries, restaurants and a well-supported town hall. There is also a good school and recreational facilities including squash courts, all-weather tennis courts, football and cricket pitches.
Tiverton, which is some 14 miles distant, offers further shopping and entertainment facilities and the well-known Blundell's School together with easy access to the M5 and mainline railway station at Tiverton Parkway. The county town of Taunton is 25 miles away and the University and Cathedral City of Exeter lies 29 miles south of the property and boasts a wealth of shopping, recreational and leisure facilities. Exeter Airport lies to the east of the city and offers national and international flights.
Description - The property comprises a collection of buildings located in the heart of Dulverton. The main mill building is a substantial Grade II listed property built of stone piers under a slate roof over three floors. Attached is the single storey Boiler House and former wash rooms. The ground floor is mostly open plan with a side building and former wheel house straddling the leat. The first floor is currently a work space with the top floor being a former residential flat.
The Mill - The Mill is one of Dulverton's iconic buildings, having had a long industrious history and having been the largest source of employment in the town.
Built alongside the town leat in 1829, the property is thought to have had two water driven wheels. The Mill was owned by the Henry Smith & Co from London initially for woollen production but soon converted for silk and crepe production. A carpenter's joinery then shared the building with the laundry, with the laundry subsequently taking-over the whole building. The Dulverton Laundry successfully employed up to 40 people mostly from the town and finally closed in March 2018.
Outside - The mill is accessed via both Chapel Street and Bridge Street. At the rear is plenty of parking in a courtyard setting. The controlled town leat starts from the River Barle at Northmoor Road and then divides just before flowing under the mill after which it continues back into the river.
Services - Three phase mains electricity, mains drainage and both mains and borehole water supply.
