3 bedroom house

A stunning detached former mill house with huge potential, enjoying a pretty riverside setting within the heart of the Exmoor National Park, close to Wimbleball Lake. Previously run as well known tea rooms with separate studio barn and one acre paddock.


A rare opportunity to purchase a stunning, former mill house, dating to the 1086 Domesday book and set in a beautiful, sheltered location nestled in the rolling hills of the Exmoor National Park. The property has been used by the previous owners for over over 30 years as the well-known Pulhams Mill Tea Rooms and craft centre with a self containted three bedroom flat above, riverside garden, parking, a separate stone barn and a one acre paddock. Although the tea rooms have not been trading for well over 18 months, we understand the previous owners have an extensive following, who would be excited to see the tea rooms open their doors again.

Situated close to the pretty Exmoor village of Brompton Regis and with the spectacular Wimbleball Lake just a short distance away, the location is ideal for those looking for a commercial enterprise such as restauranteurs, craft trades, 'camping and glamping' aficionados or for those wanting to continue the tea rooms - walkers will always need a cup of tea and a piece of cake! The property also offers potential to be converted back to a spacious family dwelling, subject to planning.

The property comprises the well known former tea-rooms on the ground floor with a three bedroom flat upstairs, accessed by an exterior staircase to the rear. Outside is the pretty riverside garden and parking. The separate stone barn, which currently has retail use (Class E), has previously been used as a craft centre, and has a vaulted ceiling, exposed roof trusses and wooden flooring.

At the top of the site is a south facing paddock of approximately 0.96 acres which has beautiful far reaching views and potential to be used for camping/yurts subject to gaining the relevant planning consents. There is a timber barn/ store measuring approx 10.72m x 3.70. The paddock has access from both the lane and the garden.

Services - Mains electricity, mains water and private drainage. Bottled gas fired central heating. Fibre broadband and Sky television available.

The property is situated in a beautiful rural location, just outside Brompton Regis, a pretty village situated in the heart of the Exmoor National Park with a lovely old Parish Church, country pub, village hall and shop. The village lies  5 miles north east of Dulverton, known as "The Gateway to Exmoor", this charming town offers a great variety of local shops and amenities including a Co-Op, popular pubs, restaurants, library, doctors surgery, pharmacy and primary school. The nearby Wimbleball Lake offers excellent facilities for fishing, sailing, rowing and other outdoor pursuits. Within easy driving distance is the stunning North Somerset and Devon coastline.
