There are five bedrooms in total offering flexible and versatile accommodation. These include the well proportioned principal suite which has a dual aspect, overlooking the land to the front of the house. As well as the usual accommodation there is also further potential with the original wheelhouse over two floors that could be modernised. There is a separate one bed flat on the top floor, in what was part of the original Mill. This would be ideal either as ancillary accommodation or as income potential.
Outside there are further outbuildings which could also be converted subject to planning. To give you an idea, there are architectural plans for the property available upon request.
The Mill is Grade II listed and is a former flour mill which ceased c.1950. The property has the potential for being used again to generate electricity.
Gardens and grounds
The garden is a key feature of The Mill with its original mill pond and many mature trees and shrubs. There is also a separate paddock adjacent to the house and a larger paddock which flanks the stream that runs along the edge of the boundary. Overall, the land provides a sanctuary which, in such a central location, is rare and adds enormously to its appeal.

The Mill is located down a discreet lane with views over its own land and the Mill Pond. Originally a small fishing village, Lympstone retains much of its character and charm. It has excellent facilities for day to day requirements including a primary school, shop, four pubs, a post office, sailing club and a café. There is also the acclaimed Lympstone Manor, a luxury five star country house hotel with Michelin star fine dining from chef Michael Caines. The location is ideal for enjoying a wonderful lifestyle with the perfect combination of privacy and accessibility.
The railway station at Lympstone, which is a 10 minute walk from the property, has a direct train service to Exeter from where there is a regular train service to London Paddington. Exeter city centre is about nine miles from Lympstone and offers a wide range of facilities, including a large shopping centre, John Lewis store, a Waitrose and a host of boutiques, cafés and restaurants. There is also a theatre and the famous medieval cathedral, one of the finest examples of Gothic architecture anywhere. The beautiful coastal town of Exmouth is one mile away and enjoys miles of world heritage
coastline. There is a wide variety of shops including a large Marks and Spencer foodhall.
There are many well-regarded private and state schools in the area including Exeter School, Blundells, Taunton School, King's College, Wellington, Colyton Grammar and St Peter's Prep School and slightly further afield is Millfield. The leading land-based Bicton College, set within an area
of outstanding natural beauty is around 7 miles away.
