6 bedroom house

An exquisite example of a period family home set in approximately two acres of garden occupying an envious position on the edge of Exmoor national park.

Kentisbury Mill is a large, detached, country residence ideal for a large family, multi-generational living or as a home with income potential. The home is very unique and some parts date back as far as the 17th century with later additions added on throughout the years.

As you walk into the home you enter via a porch and into a beautiful light and airy hallway that has stairs leading to the first floor. From this hallway you have access to the main living accommodation which includes a well equipped kitchen/diner with bespoke solid pine units and slate work surfaces, belfast sinks and a 4 oven AGA (not currently in use), the kitchen also provides access to a separate utility room which has connections for whitegoods and also has a side entrance stable style door. The living room is light and airy with dual aspect windows overlooking the gardens, accompanied by a feature fireplace with a log burning stove. The hallway provides further access to a home office and a dining room which has another log burning stove as well as a stable style door that opens onto the slate patio outside. The current owner uses part of the home as an income generator in the form of an self catering holiday let, this part of the home has an open plan living/dining room providing stairs leading upstairs, a small kitchen with built in oven and hob as well as its own utility space. This space could be easily configured to make the home one large residence.

The property has in total six bedrooms and six bathrooms (six en-suites), although this is currently lightly divided into three bedrooms for the main house and three for the holiday let. The majority of the rooms have views over the gardens, neighbouring pasture land or woodland. The en-suite bathrooms have a walk in showers and vanity units, the master bedrooms en-suite has a whirlpool bath.

Kentisbury Mill occupies an outstanding rural position conveniently situated, with no immediate neighbours. The parish is made up of the three small hamlets of Kentisbury, Kentisbury Ford and Patchole, which together afford a thriving local community providing a primary school, village hall and parish church.

Despite its peaceful and secluded rural position the home still enjoys easy access to the surrounding districts and further afield with the larger towns of Barnstaple and South Molton providing an extensive range of every day shopping, banking, recreational and educational facilities. From both of these towns the A361 North Devon link road provides easy access to Tiverton and the M5 motorway (Junction 27). Mainline intercity rail links are available at Tiverton Parkway (London, Paddington approx. 2 hours) with international airports at Exeter and Bristol.

The Exmoor National Park offers beautiful moorland scenery with many foot and bridle paths and the stunning North Devon coastline, designated an Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty, with its popular resorts of Lynton, Lynmouth, Combe Martin and Ilfracombe. Further to the west are the renowned bathing and surfing beaches of Woolacombe, Putsborough, Croyde and Saunton.

Outside the total plot extends to about 2 acres. The garden has been well looked after and has an array of trees, shrubs, a pond with a bridge to a small island and a small meandering stream that provides a good amount of natural wildlife. A long tarmac driveway provides access up to the house and one of the double garages. On the boundary of the home there is an additional stone outbuilding that subject to obtaining permissons could be adapted to provide a home office, or perhaps a hobby room. Behind the home is a small orchard area that backs onto wild flower meadow.
