Cotleigh, Honiton EX14

A Victorian former mill complex in a rural setting near Cotleigh, comprising a principal house, an attached annexe incorporating the historic mill workings, and three converted cottages. The accommodation is described as offering ten bedrooms across the buildings, with the main house arranged around a sitting room, kitchen/dining room, playroom or office, utility room, three first-floor bedrooms and an attic bedroom. The annexe has an open-plan kitchen and living area, a bedroom and a bathroom. The cottages include two two-storey units and a largely single-storey cottage, with a mix of one- and two-bedroom layouts. The property has remained in the same family ownership for almost fifty years and is now described as requiring modernisation and improvement. The former cottages were previously used for holiday letting and have since been retained for family use. The mill retains historic machinery, including grindstones and timber workings, and the buildings provide scope for a range of uses, subject to any necessary checks and consents. The grounds extend to approximately 2.64 acres and include lawns, a pond beside the Umborne Brook, parking, polytunnels, timber stables, a shed and a stone garage. Services include mains electricity, photovoltaic panels, a private well with a UV treatment system installed in 2025, and a private sewage treatment plant installed in 2021. Heating is by woodburners in the main house and electric heating in the annexe and cottages. Part of the land is within a flood risk zone; the owners report that the house has not flooded during their ownership. Honiton, with shops, schools, healthcare, a railway station and road connections, is nearby.
