5 bedroom house

Description

Mill Farmhouse, which is thought to date from the early Victorian era (retained water pump feature in kitchen is dated 1849) and was once part of the Kitley Estate, and has been in the same ownership for approaching 30 years, is an immensely characterful and substantial family house. It is set in south facing established and remarkably secluded grounds with extensive parking, enjoying long views over the wooded valley of the River Yealm.

Clearly cherished by its present owners, this welcoming family house has an adaptable layout that includes a generous second floor suite that could be a work-from-home studio or ancillary living space. The extensive and beautiful flagstone floor (probably local stone) is a delightful feature to the ground floor reception rooms. Considerable expenditure has been invested in the house by the present owners over their long period of occupancy to maintain its quality, while also carefully preserving its unique and beautiful character.

The grounds extend to approximately 3.8 acres. Approached by the private lane named Mill Leat Close, from the A379 just to the east of the village, the small paddock of just over an acre will be found on the right, and this in turn adjoins an undeveloped area totalling just under 2 acres devoted to wildlife. The drive leads off the track gently rising up to the principal garden and extensive parking and reception area to the house. A delightful front garden has a stone parapet wall to one side, and a further secluded garden and terrace to the west.

Situation

The property lies close to the centre of Yealmpton, a location that offers, within a short walking distance, a large health centre with dispensary, Post Office, general stores, café, hairdressers, optician, two pubs, garage/filling station and a regular bus route to Plymouth City Centre. Within the village there is also a primary school, and two churches, and the well-respected Ben’s Farm Shop. A remarkable network of footpaths lie around the village and the beautiful countryside of the South Devon Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty and the River Yealm Valley. From here there is also quick access to the A38 Devon Expressway, Mothecombe and other superb South Hams beaches, Plymouth’s City Centre and Waterfront. The waterfront of the yachtsmen’s haven of Newton Ferrers is only 4 miles away.
