(Please scroll for links to walk-around YouTube videos) SITUATION: Nymet Mill Farm is quite simply a secret and magical place. Situated in a tranquil location, at the bottom of green hills, and nestled on the banks of the rivers Taw and Yeo right in the heart of the Mid Devon countryside. This hidden gem, located in a picturesque valley, is surrounded by rolling hills, meadow fields, flowing waters, lush river paddocks and private mixed, mature woodlands. Situated to the North and West of Nymet Mill lie two substantial rivers; the Taw and the Yeo. Both host a variety of wildlife including Otters, Salmon and Trout, and have recreational benefits, providing wonderful fishing facilities while the private woodlands and land are home to diverse beautiful Devon wildlife. While enjoying total privacy and seclusion Nymet Mill is also easily accessible, lying just off of the A377 road linking Exeter and Barnstaple. Crediton, being the nearest town, hosts a busy high street providing shopping facilities, secondary schooling (also in Chulmleigh), recreational activities and railway station. Situated 18 miles to the south-east lies the Cathedral city of Exeter, boasting a wide range of facilities, a mainline railway station, international airport and access to the M5 motorway. GENERAL DESCRIPTION This rare and unique property sits within approximately 12.513 acres of lawned gardens, agricultural fields and mixed woodland. Located a stone throw away from the main house is the river Taw and river Yeo, these two glorious rivers present a tremendous backdrop for the property and provides private fishing facilities. The house itself contains six spacious bedrooms with two being en-suite as well as two further family bathrooms, a country kitchen with oil Aga, a dining room with log burner and a huge entertaining reception reception room with a further occasional kitchen and access to the large stone terrace overlooking the river Taw. The property lends itself wonderfully to be used either as a substantial country home, duel generational living for two families, or comfortable owners quarters with a potential leisure business. Within the cartilage of the main house lies a lesuire barn used for social events and extra guests whilst a steel portal frame building lies just north of the house which benefits from previous planning permission obtained under Class Q to develop for residential use. The surrounding land comprises both level and gently sloping permanent grassland, orchards and a separate woodland. THE HOUSE Nymet Mill Farm is a former mill having undergone renovations and constructed of mostly local stone under Lincoln clay pantiles. The main house contains six spacious bedrooms, two being an en-suite, two family bathrooms, two reception rooms and a kitchen with a beautiful red, oil fired Aga. Within the house is the former waterwheel once used to operate the mill, as well as the original iron works; a fantastic centre piece to this wonderful family home and historical property. We are told the wheel operated up until the late 1960's! There is also huge potential to install hydro-power using the river's natural energy source therefore making the property completely self-sufficient (STPP). While the propery has mains water suppy there is also a private (Well) water supply on the grounds). THE OLD SHIPPON Situated across from the main house lies the stone built Old Shippon. The upper floor of which has been converted to provide a ‘party room”, including central heating, kitchen, bathroom, 2 bedrooms, 2 mezzanine levels and 2 balconies overlooking the river Taw, whilst the ground floor provides excellent storage facilities with lots of further potential. This building is substantial, with great uses as a leisure business retreat, yoga studio, gymnasium or even grand home offices (STPP). THE AGRICULTURAL BUILDING – WITH PREVIOUS PLANNING Steel portal frame building to the north in a slightly elevated position, this modern farm building has previously had permitted development for the creation of a unique, spacious four bedroom property with an open plan kitchen and dining area, lounge, study, family bathroom, plenty of parking, handsome grounds, double carport/garage and double stable block with electricity and mains water. A lthough the development rights have now expired this could be sought back by the new owners. ( Proposed Floorplans within the pictures ) Otherwise the building provides substantial barn facilities for animals, a large workshop or vehicle storage. THE LAND The land fundamentally lies within a ring fence either bounded by a country lane, adjoining farmland or magical river frontage. Totalling approximately 12.513 acres the land includes a total of 6 land parcels down to permanent grassland; ideal for equestrian or recreational use, the remainder forms either landscaped gardens or mixed woodland of many different variety and age. The land is of a slightly sloping topography and has been well maintained, benefiting from good stock proof hedges and fences with the majority of the land parcels being connected to a natural water supply. .Just off of the A377 road through Devon a long, private, curved track takes you away from the world and down towards the rivers where eventually a grand and imposing white property finally comes into view, set in its own green valley. You have arrived at Nymet Mill. .The gardens and lawns are mature surrounding the Mill with white willow plantations, mature plum, apple and pear trees, and cute summer house all bordered by a large weeping willow and a mixture of mature Oak and Ash trees. To the East is a secret garden hidden behind the water-filled leat. .Further afield from the Mill a hidden path takes the viewer down to "Waters Meet". A magic area with lawns and a Bamboo plantation where the Rivers Taw and Yeo join together on their journey to the Atlantic Ocean at Bideford. This area is home to large Oak trees several hundred years old standing on the banks of the Yeo (once known as the river Nymet - Celtic for "Sacred Grove" and where the Historical Mill gets it's name). .Hop across the Mill's old leat and you enter a large, flat river paddock adjoining the Yeo and the private track to the top. This area would be ideal to dig a large lake (STPP) or has previously been used for camping and grazing. The current owners had a license with the Camping and Caravan Club for a private campsite which could easily be returned without seeking planning consent, offering the new owners a useful home-business. Further details can be issued on request. .Next to the river paddock is a mature orchard of several varieties of apple trees of about 1.5 acres and also boarder the natural curve of the river and and private driveway. .Across from the private track and Mill's entrance is a sloping field of about 5 acres which has its own gated access onto a country lane, this field has previously been used as a camping, as well as an organic animal grazing area (home to Pigs, Sheep, Dexter cows and Geese.) .Behind the large steel barn is the Mill's allotment which has a large polytunel and greenhouse, previously used to grow organic vegetables and fruits for the Mill's owners. .An ancient Oak woodland of about 2 acres overlooks the main Mill house and provides a wonderful, natural separation from neighbouring land. It is home to Deer, Badgers, Rabbits and Fox as well as many native bird life. Vacant possession will be given upon completion. No Onward Chain. LOCAL AUTHORITY Mid Devon District Council. BASIC PAYMENT SCHEME The owners does (we do) receive Basic Payments under the Basic Payment Scheme. SERVICES Mains electricity and mains water are connected to the main house and farm buildings. The house is served by a private drainage system.
