Stunning 5 Bedroom Detached Former Mill with Breathtaking Views

Once part of the historic Walreddon Manor Estate, this exceptional five bedroom detached former mill dates back to the 1600s showcases some wonderful period features. Situated right next to the River Tavy with wonderful views of the river and surrounding countryside, yet within easy reach of the well renowned market town of Tavistock.

Accessed via a private driveway, the property is secluded and peaceful, set well back from the lane and screened by mature hedgerows, shrubs, and plants.

Unusually for a home of this age and historical significance, it is not listed. Inside, the substantial accommodation is arranged over three floors, providing a flexible layout ideal for family or multigenerational living. In total, the home boasts four reception rooms, including a library, sitting room, and a formal dining room. The kitchen breakfast room, complete with AGA and separate pantry, is designed for both practicality and style.

The upper floors offer five generously proportioned bedrooms, three of which feature en suite facilities. A cosy snug area on the top floor adds further flexibility, perfect as a study or quiet retreat. The whole property benefits from double glazed windows.

Externally, the mature gardens provide privacy and seclusion, creating a wonderful outdoor space for relaxation. There is a glorious garden room which offers the perfect setting for alfresco dining with stunning views of the river. As well as several other outbuildings, including a garage and workshop, offer exciting potential for conversion into ancillary accommodation, subject to the necessary planning consents.

With its rich history, spacious interiors, and spectacular setting, this rare and remarkable home offers a fantastic opportunity to embrace country living without compromising on convenience.
