DESCRIPTION

A substantial stone built property dating back to the 18th century when the property was built by the Devonshire Estate and utilised as a holding pen for pack mules from Ecton Mines carrying copper ore and coal. The current owners have carried out significant improvements making this a versatile and practical home in this glorious setting.

In addition to the main house, there is an independent and recently renovated annex with two en suite bedrooms together with a range of refurbished outbuildings with potential for additional accommodation and currently utilised as an office/workshop, garaging and stabling.

The annex (called Mole End) is an attractive self contained unit which would provide ideal guest/relative accommodation or alternatively could be utilised as holiday let accommodation with potential to generate a good income. The remaining outbuildings would easily convert into further holiday accommodation if required (Subject to obtaining necessary planning permission).

The property stands within grounds of approximately 5 Acres (2.03 Hectares).
