SITUATION Approached via a sweeping gravelled drive Brook Mill is situated in a semi-rural location on the banks of the River Tavy, yet within easy access of the amenities provided by Tavistock town centre and a short commute to Plymouth. Tavistock is a thriving market town situated on the edge of the Dartmoor National Park and was voted top of a list of 120 market towns in 2004 in a survey run by the Council for the Protection of Rural England in its countryside character campaign based on retaining individuality and distinctiveness, sensitive planning and new development, architecture, sense of history, thriving shops and businesses, and community spirit. This was quoted in the major daily broadsheets including The Telegraph, The Guardian and The Independent. It has good shopping facilities and a full range of state schools plus several public schools, including preparatory and a senior college. Recreational facilities include golf courses, cricket, rugby, football and tennis clubs and all indoor sports. Scenic walks abound. Tavistock is 15 miles from Plymouth where there is a civil airport offering regular internal and continental flights, a cross Channel ferry service to Roscoff, Brittany, and a British Rail Inter City service to London, Bristol and the North. DESCRIPTION Dating back to the 1600's this substantial stone-built former mill has been sympathetically and carefully renovated in recent years to provide a light and spacious family home arranged over three floors. Positioned in an area of great landscape value, unusually for a property of this age and history it has not been listed and incorporates the comforts of modern day living whilst retaining much of the original character. The accommodation includes: entrance porch, dining hall, sitting room, kitchen with Aga, breakfast room, boot room, cloakroom, five/six bedrooms (three with en suite facilities), family shower room, study/bedroom six and snug. Oil fired central heating has also been installed.
