SITUATION
Old Manor Mill is situated on the southern side of the town in a tucked away secluded position but also within walking distance of the towns amenities including doctors, hospital, school and train station. The former mill house offers peace and tranquility with its water wheel, leat and millpond within its beautifully landscaped gardens.

Honiton is a bustling market town with a thriving community and is particularly well known as an antique and book centre. It has most of the usual multiples such as W. H. Smith, Tesco and Boots, as well as a variety of independent shops, restaurants, schools, sports centre/swimming pool, golf club and main line rail link to London (Waterloo) and Exeter. Honiton has excellent communication links with a dual carriageway to the Cathedral City of Exeter the County Town, some 16.5 miles to the west. Exeter has an excellent range of shopping and sporting facilities, theatres, arts centre, main line rail link to London (Paddington), international airport and M5 access. The Regency coastal resort of Sidmouth is about 9 miles to the south with its wide pebble beach (sand at low tide), long esplanade and range of independent shops and boutiques. Sidmouth lies on a World Heritage Site known as the Jurassic Coast, over which there are delightful picturesque walks and dramatic scenery.
The renowned Colyton Grammar School, one of England’s top mixed state schools, is situated about 9.5 miles away.

THE PROPERTY
Old Manor Mill is a wonderful Grade II listed former mill house with masses of character and fascinating original period features which date back several centuries.
The gas centrally heated traditional accommodation has a lovely sitting room with an open fire and a superb kitchen/breakfast room with a cottage style fitted kitchen, an Everhot oven, Hotpoint fridge drawers and a larder cupboard. Leading from this is an impressive dining room/study which has the former substantial mill workings which are an incredible feature. Also, on the ground-floor is a further dual aspect reception room and a utility room and cloakroom. On the first-floor are the four double bedrooms, the principal bedroom is a large room, again with feature mill workings and an en-suite bathroom. The good-sized family bathroom has a separate shower and a bath. A wooden staircase then leads to an enormous walk-in loft space which runs the full length of the property.

GARDENS
The beautiful southerly facing garden is a real asset to this fine home and provides a wonderful sanctuary with its profusion of shrubs and flowers that provide year-round colour and interest. The relaxing sound of water falling past the waterwheel into the mill-pond and the sunken pond are two very striking and attractive features. The garden is particularly colourful in Spring with many bulbs and wisteria in flower around two sides of the house. There is a productive kitchen garden area to both the rear and to the side with a garden shed and greenhouse. Attached to the side of the house is a good-sized garage and workshop area which also has access to the house. A driveway in front of the garage provides parking for a few vehicles.
