The property

Ashburton 2.8 miles.

The Mill House sits close to Ashburton and offers a charming retreat for families and friends seeking time in Dartmoor National Park, complete with an enclosed garden, two woodburning stoves and en-suite facilities.

Approaching this converted mill near Haytor, you follow a gentle footpath from the parking area to the stone exterior while birdsong and the movement of water by the old mill wheel set the scene before you reach the door.

Inside, steps take you down into a spacious farmhouse kitchen where the electric double oven Aga brings warmth, the gas hob is ready for hearty meals and the island creates a natural spot for relaxed breakfasts, supported by an American-style fridge freezer, dishwasher, toaster and kettle.

From here, the hallway leads to a furnished patio for outdoor dining, and back indoors, the snug study provides a separate corner to unwind with a sofa bed for flexible sleeping.

The sitting room offers large armchairs, a sofa, pouffes, a Smart TV, a keyboard and the welcoming glow of a woodburning stove for evenings after exploring Dartmoor.

The carpeted staircase rises to the first floor where the family room overlooks the garden and features a double bed, extendable day bed and en-suite walk-in shower room.

Along the landing you will find a twin room with zip-link beds and a desk, a nearby double bedroom and a family bathroom with a freestanding bath and walk-in shower.

The super king-size bedroom completes the layout with an electric fire, a chair, a dressing table and its own en-suite shower room.

Outside, the wrap-around garden includes lawn, stone borders and areas perfect for sitting with a drink while listening to birdsong and the flowing water, and exposed stone features throughout parts of the house bring gentle charm that reflects its mill history.

Local amenities such as a shop and pub are a short drive away, while moorland paths and riverside trails begin close by, and days out include Widecombe in the Moor with its cafés and village atmosphere, Newton Abbot with lively markets, and Torquay with its coastal views and sheltered coves.

Create treasured memories at The Mill House, a delightful base for discovering Devon.

Note: This property has a Good Housekeeping bond of £100.

About the location

ASHBURTON

Newton Abbot 8 miles; Torquay 17 miles; Plymouth 25 miles; Exeter 20 miles; Widecombe In The Moor 6 miles

The ancient Stannary town of Ashburton lies on the southern slopes of Dartmoor and is an ideal spot from which to explore the rugged high moors to the North and a beautiful coastline to the South. The scenery in this area of South Devon is glorious in all weathers and offers visitors opportunities for walking, pony trekking, canoeing, fishing and lazing on the beach. Ashburton has some artisan shops and with its interesting history and museum, has built a reputation for its high standard of antiques and fine collectables outlets. It also has lovely tea rooms, a popular vegan cafe, a wine bar, a fish deli, cheese deli, artisan baker, local butcher, co-op, spar, pharmacist and organic veg and health food shop. In the surrounding area, Dartmoor has many picturesque villages and hamlets with old thatched cottages and ancient churches, surrounded by a patchwork of fields and woodland. Lustleigh, North Bovey, Chagford and Widecombe- in- the- Moor are fine examples. The attractive seaside town of Teignmouth is a half hour drive and the popular Blackpool Sands (pebble beach), although a little further down the coast, is one of South Devon's most beautiful natural treasures. An award-winning privately managed 'Blue Flag' family beach with turquoise blue sea giving it an almost Mediterranean feel. For beautiful sandy beaches visit Bantham Beach and Dawlish Warren. So whether it is moor or coast that you’re seeking for your getaway, Ashburton is a really central town from which to be based.
