Our Summary
- In 1904 the Mill was converted to a Sawmill which served the local community for many years but by the end of the 20th Century the Mill was in need of urgent renovation
- The present owner purchased the Mill in a derelict state in 1995 and had a vision and great determination to rebuild, renovate and preserve a vital part of our heritage
- A carpeted staircase from the reception hall leads down to the lower ground floor basement with door to outside and is currently used as a utility/boiler room with large storage area although suitable for a variety of uses including potential to create further living space/annexe accommodation
Description
This historic sawmill, dating back to the 14th century, has been lovingly restored by the current owner over the past 25 years. The property features a working water wheel, vintage machinery, and a beautifully restored three-bedroom house with a two-storey barn, forge, workshop, and studio/museum. The house has been renovated to a high standard, with a range of features including a woodburner, double doors to a timber decked terrace, and a kitchen/breakfast room with a range of appliances. The property is situated on the edge of the popular Exmoor village of Timberscombe, enjoying wonderful views over farmland towards the surrounding hills. The sawmill's history is rich, with the first mill dating back to the 14th century, and the current owner has worked tirelessly to preserve its heritage. The property is a unique opportunity for a like-minded enthusiast to purchase the property, along with the historic machinery, tools, and memorabilia, and continue to hold open days and develop the historic site.
