The Property - If ever there was a property which is as much about the lifestyle it offers, as the stone, timber and mortar it has been built with, then this is it! While the property itself is a charming, detached, period cottage, it is the isolated position, the stunning scenery, the surrounding countryside and the expansive grounds totalling approximately 29 acres, which will really spark your imagination. Found on the rural Herefordshire/Shropshire border, a million miles from the hustle and bustle of city life, if you have dreamed about moving to the countryside, having no near neighbours and your own slice of the 'good life' with sheep, chickens and perhaps horses, well Limebrook Mill could allow that dream to become a reality!

Available to buy with vacant possession and no upward chain, Limebrook Mill as the name suggests was a former mill and offers an abundance of character and history and has been owned by the same family for the past number of decades. Now in need of extensive refurbishment, the house accommodation spans across 2 floors and is made up of 4 bedrooms on the first floor, while on the ground floor there is a kitchen, utility, downstairs bathroom, dining room and sitting room with a feature inglenook fireplace. In addition, the former mill itself adjoins the house and retains many original features including the lesser face gear, drive shaft and hopper, just to name a select few and could be part or fully converted to enlarge the accommodation, subject to all necessary permissions.

Outside, the approaching, council maintained lane leads to a sizeable parking area in front of the property with space for a number of vehicles, as well as a lean-to carport. Adjacent to the house and mill are a range of useful out-buildings including 2 detached, traditional/modern barns which could be used for a variety of purposes including the housing of animals, hay or machinery. Set within approximately 29 acres of pasture and established woodland, which is currently split into a number of parcels either side of the lane and house, the lower land comprises attractive meadow grazing and has the Lime Brook running through. Some of the land is steeper in places, but overall could be ideal for those looking to become smallholders or possibly with equestrian interests with plenty of space to create stabling, subject to all necessary permissions. For explorers, walkers and nature enthusiasts, a public footpath runs through part of the land and soon leads you on a rural adventure of the surrounding countryside. To the left of the house finds a mature, good-sized garden.
